Yesterday, Schiphol already warned of major crowds at the airport. Several airlines have been asked to cancel flights to ease the workload for staff. Due to the corona pandemic, the airport is struggling with a staff shortage. People lost their jobs during the pandemic due to fewer flights for nearly two years, and not everyone has returned to their old jobs.
The May holiday, when many people want to travel, puts extra pressure on the current staff.
KLM has canceled at least 47 flights for today and tomorrow. “There have been no cancellations,” said a spokeswoman. TUI and Corendon have moved some flights to Rotterdam airport.
