At Schiphol we encourage airlines to deploy quieter and cleaner aircraft. We consult with air traffic control to make sure we use the flight paths and runways that cause the least inconvenience, and we have partnered with the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) to develop innovative noise-reflecting ridges. We offer help to people who have suffered damage or who are living in unbearable situations through the Schiphol Quality of Life Foundation, and we support projects among our neighbours that contribute to improving liveability.
