– Schiphol and our partners do everything we can to ensure that the situation at the airport is manageable, the airport itself writes in a notice on its websites.
They warn that on Saturday morning there have been so many people in the terminals at the airport, that they feel compelled to ask new passengers not to come.
– It is partly due to the strike with KLM, that the terminal is far too full, they write further.
Saturday morning at 6 o’clock the ground crews of KLM’s strike started. They strike against poor working conditions and the company’s choice to outsource part of the work to another company.

The ground crews are, among other things, responsible for loading and unloading the aircraft, as well as ensuring that the aircraft reach the correct street.
Passengers who are to leave and travel until three o’clock this afternoon are asked not to show up at the airport, for security reasons.
Schiphol Airport is KLM’s major hub, and is one of the major hubs for flights in Europe.
There are a lot of delays and several canceled flights from the airport on Saturday.
