“We do indeed have the impression that people have come to the airport earlier because of the announced farmer actions. That’s why there are lines outside. People who come much too early have to stand longer.” Judith de Roy, spokesperson for Eindhoven Airport, let us know. Passengers had previously been advised not to come to the airport more than three hours before a flight.
Extra taps for free water have been set up for those waiting. Employees from Eindhoven Airport are also walking around to ensure that everything runs smoothly and to answer questions. They also refer passengers of the first departing flights to report to security, these people are also removed from the queues.
For the time being, there is nothing to notice about farmers’ actions. “Of course we are in contact with the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, the police and all other parties that are important in this regard. It should be clear that we want to coordinate everything well,” says the spokesperson for Eindhoven Airport.
