DHL answer due to government on night flight requirements

DHL parcel service was due to tell the government Monday how it would contain noisy flights over densely populated areas if allowed to expand its European hub in Brussels, with fears rising no compromise could be found. “I will do my utmost to make sure an agreement can be reached,” said Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt. He said he will not allow too many new flights over the capital and outlying areas, but also wants to keep DHL in Belgium to save thousands of jobs. “The most important is to reconcile the two points of view,” he told VRT network.
