Dazzling

Dazzling solar panels blind pilots during approach to Schiphol airport


A solar panel park near Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is posing a serious safety risk and disrupting air traffic, according to airport authorities.

The panels reflect sunlight so strongly that pilots are being blinded during critical flight phases. Schiphol has called the situation an “unacceptable risk to safety.”

The airport estimates potential damages could reach up to €300 million.
