People who want to make a flight from the regional airport Eindhoven Airport have to take into account extremely long queues until the autumn holidays. That’s what director Roel Hellemons says on Saturday in The Financial Times.
The airport is short of dozens of security personnel and that problem has not been solved in a few weeks. An employee says the queues are sometimes hundreds of meters long. Eindhoven Airport is currently deploying dozens of assistants to inform travelers outside the terminal about the delays.
Eindhoven Airport processes more than sixty outbound flights per day. Contrary to normal, they are almost all packed. Especially travelers from the south of the Netherlands and Belgium use the regional airport.
The government has ordered Schiphol Airport to reduce the maximum number of flights from 500,000 to 440,000. A contraction is not an issue in Eindhoven. The maximum permitted number of flights will remain at 41,500 per year until at least 2023.
