Amsterdam Airport widens daily traffic restrictions
NEWS FLASH
Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is further expanding and extending a cap on the number of flights and passengers it can serve each month due to a chronic shortage of staff which it has been experiencing this year. The situation worsened over the past few weeks due to lack of security officers causing passengers to wait in lines for hours. As a result, Schiphol Airport will have to lower the maximum number of locally departing passengers per day by an another 18% (or 9.250 people). This additional reduction will run up until at least October 31. Up until now, the airport capped the daily number of locally departing passengers at 67.500 in September and planned for 69.500 locally departing travellers per day in October. The new maximum will reduce these figures to 54.500 and 57.000 passengers respectively. The airport expects to apply limitations to the daily number of customers at least until the end of the year. KLM, which maintains flights to Belgrade, Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik, has been hit by the caps. Similarly, Air Serbia has had to limit its number of departing passengers from Amsterdam to Belgrade this summer.
