Eindhoven Airport (EHEH) in the Netherlands intends to ban private flights starting in 2026 as part of a strategy to reduce aircraft carbon dioxide emissions and noise by 30 percent—compared to 2019 levels–by 2030. Other measures confirmed late last week include a cap on the number of yearly flights and a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blending requirement that is markedly higher than the one mandated by the European Union (EU). 

“As private flights have a relatively large noise and CO2 footprint per passenger and only marginally meet our region’s mobility needs, we have decided not to allow them at Eindhoven Airport from 2026,” the airport said in a statement. It added that it remains willing to accept electric aircraft, including eVTOLs.
