Schiphol is getting busy thus the government is looking at other options (how clever). Problem is that both Schiphol and Rotterdam lie in one of the most densely populated areas of Europe. Eindhoven and Lelystad have been appointed as overflow airports, that can take away the strain from Schiphol and at a lower cost). Point-to-Point flights can then indeed use Lelystad or Eindhoven. It doesn't mean Schiphol won't grow, probably just slowers as capacity is swifted away to less noise sensitive regions!
