The ban on business aircraft announced by Eindhoven Airport in November 2023 officially came into effect on January 1, 2026, as part of a plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and noise levels by 30%.
ch-aviation research shows that, since the measure took effect, several aircraft have been relocated.
These include a Global 5000 managed by FLYINGGROUP now based at Rotterdam, a Legacy 500 operated by ASL Group Private Jet Services, now primarily active out of Amsterdam Schiphol, and a Legacy 600 managed by JetNetherlands, part of the ASL Group, which has also been stationed at Rotterdam.
ch-aviation reached out to Netherlands-based operators FLYINGGROUP, ASL Group, and Exxaero regarding operational constraints and measures taken to mitigate impacts, but no response had been received by the time of publication.
In addition to the business aircraft ban, the airport introduced a cap of 41,500 flights, slightly above the initially planned limit of 40,500. The airport remains a joint-use military base, hosting several Royal Netherlands Air Force aircraft, including a G650(ER) used for VIP transport.
