Dutch Back Down in JetBlue Flap That Risked KLM Ouster at JFK
The Netherlands abandoned a plan to reduce capacity at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, bowing to pressure from the US, which threatened to retaliate over JetBlue Airways Corp.’s expulsion, and the European Union. The Dutch government will no longer implement an experimental regulation which would have reduced the number of flights at Schiphol by 8% for the 2024 summer season, Infrastructure Minister Mark Harbers said in a letter sent to parliament on Tuesday.

Craze? It a REALLY OLD craze, as in thousands of year old craze, (See Egyptian tourism 2000 years ago). Oh and let not forget all those THOUSANDS of communities you're now spending your money at. MANY will, dry up and die small towns in my State of Alaska, for instance. These economies are hyper dependent on those tourism dollars. Travel and Tourism are close too 8% of the Global GDP in 2022. I love pollyanna viewpoints but this is one that is not very well thought out. HOW ABOUT THIS!! Let's build a new airport away from Schiphol. Its was crap overcrowded airport 40 years ago when I flew into it. It's no better today. if your in the EU then you follow the rules. Or do what the UK did and see how that work out. Can't have it both ways. The Dutch DEPEND on those tourism dollars. So go figure it out.
If it weren’t for tourism the famous Red Light District in Amsterdam all their workers would surely go bust. I vote we keep the blues on each end continue flying in both directions.
Also stop ordering online.
Don't buy any product not locally produced.

Yes, and buy from your local community stores, avoid the big box stores like Wal-Mart and buying off the internet Amazon.
Would if I could get the same prices @ WM. I try to shop local but Mom & Pop stores have to charge more because they can’t get the same price break as the big boxes who can get a discount by buying in large volumes.
