Lelystad Airport will open for civil aviation after over ten years of discussions and political tension. The coalition agreement by D66, VVD, and CDA marks a significant step forward, allowing the airport to operate as a passenger facility while also accommodating F-35 fighter jets for the Ministry of Defense. The airport plans to welcome passengers by 2027, with the development aimed at fostering good relations with local residents and stakeholders, and is expected to boost the regional economy.
