Amsterdam aims to gradually lift passenger cap
NEWS FLASH
Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport hopes to gradually lift its limit on daily passenger numbers from March 26. The cap, introduced last year as a result of a chronic staff shortage which led to extra-long queues and unusually high numbers of passengers missing flights, had an impact on flights from former Yugoslav markets. Last summer, Air Serbia was forced to reduce the number of passengers it could carry on its flights from Amsterdam, while Transavia has temporarily suspended its service from Amsterdam to Ljubljana. Prior to the suspension, select flights from the Slovenian capital operated to Rotterdam, rather than Amsterdam, due to the cap. Amsterdam Schiphol Airport assumes that from March 26 the daily passenger limit will be gradually reduced. Initially, there will still be restrictions at peak times, but these are expected to be lifted from May. The management of the largest airport in the Netherlands noted that it has made great efforts to employ new staff. A final decision on daily capacity levels will be made and communicated at a later date - in consultation with service providers.
