Our five national airports welcomed 17.4 million passengers in the second quarter. That is more than 20 percent less than in the same period in 2019. At the same time, the number of flights in trade decreased by more than 15 percent, statistics agency CBS reported on Friday.
Of the nearly 127,000 flights in trade (airline flights to transport passengers, freight and mail for a fee), Schiphol Airport processed the vast majority: about 86 percent.
In this period, 14.9 million people traveled via Schiphol, 22 percent less than in the same quarter of 2019. At that time, 19 million air passengers still traveled via this airport. The airport in Haarlemmermeer also processed more than 16 percent fewer flights in the past quarter.
