Schiphol airport reducing daily passenger flow by 18%

Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport will reduce daily passenger flow by 18% until at least Oct. 31st due to labor shortages, it said in a statement.

Schiphol, one of Europe’s busiest airports, continues to grapple with long lines mainly due to a shortage of security staff, leading to some travellers missing their flights.

“This decision is bad news for passengers and for airlines,” Hanne Buis, chief operating officer of the Royal Schiphol Group, said in a statement. “The reduction is necessary to guarantee the safety of our passengers and employees.” Reuters.com
