The cabinet has fallen (for the fourth time in a row lol) and are now basically sitting out the period until the next elections in november. Because of this the US is saying they can't decide anything in between. Funny enough that did not count when we agreed to the horrific Migration Deal with Tunisia, or any other decision that has been made ever since. Nope, just the one about Schiphol Airport.

And we're talking about I think 70k flights on a yearly 500k total. It's not like we are drastically cutting down on flying either.

Add to that the many months it will undoubtedly take before a new cabinet gets sworn in.
