In the months of July and August, Corendon will move about 150 flights from Schiphol to the airport in Rotterdam. In addition, the travel organization is canceling about 35 more flights by merging with other flights or moving to other airports.
Corendon has chosen not to wait for Schiphol’s message about how many flights each airline must surrender, the travel organization shares in a press release. Due to the rescheduled and canceled flights, Corendon is reducing approximately 25 percent of the number of flights planned at Schiphol.
‘Corendon has thus made a substantial contribution to the reduction of the number of passengers at Schiphol during the summer holidays and assumes that it will not have to cancel any more flights’, the travel organization writes.
“We understand that some customers find it annoying to depart from another airport, but it is a better alternative than having to cancel the entire holiday,” said Corendon CEO Steven van der Heijden. “Because we have not yet received any official information, we are unable to provide clarity to individual customers about their specific flight.”
It only concerns holidays that Corendon provides with its own devices. “Corendon has also booked many tens of thousands of seats on flights from other airlines such as KLM and Transavia,” says Van der Heijden. “We depend on these parties for further information about whether or not their flights will continue.”
