Because Schiphol is no longer going to remedy the staff shortage at hand luggage control this summer, the airport will joke about flights. Both De Telegraaf and NOS report this today. According to the newspaper, tens of thousands of holidaymakers see their trip in the water as a result.
The NOS reports that Schiphol is now finalizing the latest plans to cancel the flights. Until a few days ago, the airport hoped that airlines would come up with this themselves, but the airlines would not cooperate.
Due to major staff shortages, the airport has been bogged down for weeks. In May, Schiphol presented an action plan to prevent staff from leaving and to make it more attractive for new workers to come and work.
