Amsterdam Airport to Cap Passenger Numbers Once Again Amid Staff Shortage

Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport will again limit passenger numbers during the busy May holiday period as the Dutch hub continues to wrestle with staff shortages.

Reneging on an earlier move to remove any outstanding restrictions, the Dutch airport informed airlines Monday evening that it will introduce an extra 5% “safety margin” in the first week of April, resulting in 5,000 fewer travelers per day, according to director of corporate affairs Kees Boef.
