It is not known how many passengers have already reached their destination and how many still have to fly.
On Saturday, KLM was forced to cancel the flights of passengers in 42 aircraft, which flew empty from European destinations to Schiphol. According to the airline, the measure was necessary because of unfavorable weather conditions and runway maintenance. In addition, Schiphol has been struggling for some time with staff shortages, for example at baggage handlers. This combination of circumstances meant that KLM had to intervene, a spokesperson said earlier on Sunday.
On Sunday, KLM was able to “run the operation normally again”, as had also been announced earlier. This is also expected to be the case on Monday, Whit Monday.
