Travel organization TUI will move a series of flights from Amsterdam to Brussels in October due to capacity limitations to fly through Schiphol. According to the travel organization, these are flights that depart in the period from 10 to 31 October.
Due to a shortage of staff at the security services and large crowds with long lines of passengers, Schiphol last week asked airlines to reduce the number of daily departing passengers by an average of 18% until at least the end of October.
TUI finds this unacceptable. “Schiphol continues to solve their problems, but leave it to others. We don’t want our travelers to be victims and we will not cancel the holidays,” the organization said in a statement.
These are flights to destinations Tenerife, Kos, Mallorca, Crete and Gambia. All other trips depart as planned from the booked airport.
EasyJet has announced that it will cancel a series of flights from Schiphol until 30 October. This mainly concerns flights on routes on which easyJet flies several times a day. With this, the company wants to protect holiday flights.
KLM expects to have to cancel an average of fifteen flights a day from Schiphol over the next period to meet airport restrictions. Travel organization Sunweb says it will change flights as well, such as a flight from Rotterdam or another flight from Amsterdam.
