AMSTERDAM, March 3 (Reuters) - KLM and other airlines on Friday said they are suing the Dutch government over plans to cap the number of annual flights allowed at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, saying it would hurt them, the Dutch economy and travellers.
Others joining the KLM suit include Delta Airlines, easyJet, TUI and Turkey's Corendon Airlines.
But the decision to cap the flights cited noise and air pollution concerns, not traveller's' distress.
Schiphol Airport Group, which was also issued a summons in the KLM-led case, said it "regretted" the suit.
Last month the airport said it would impose a 66,000 passenger per day cap for the 2023 May vacation period due to still-unresolved labour shortages.
