‘Good conditions, which take into account how hard the work is’
According to Harbers, it is mainly about ensuring that the airport has enough employees. “And good employership is necessary for people to enjoy coming to work here,” emphasizes the minister.
“It means that you have to look carefully at what you are hiring and whether it is on realistic terms.” He wants Schiphol “to pull out all the stops to ensure that people can work there under good conditions.” It must be taken into account how heavy the work sometimes is.
Excuses
Top man Benschop of the airport offered his this week excuses to the situation. He then also announced that he wants to pay the staff better.
To reduce the expected crowds for this weekend, six departing flights have been moved to Rotterdam The Hague Airport. Schiphol announced earlier today that it “continues well”. It is especially busy in the arrivals halls, where returning holidaymakers arrive.
‘Small country with large foreign countries’
Harbers emphasizes that Schiphol is owned by the government, that the situation at the airport is important for the Netherlands and that the airport government asks that the ‘core product’ be put in order as soon as possible: “We are a small country with a large foreign country. We cannot afford to have the aviation system at the largest airport in chaos for too long.”
