The lines at Schiphol are “a lot better” on Sunday morning than on Saturday when travelers had to queue for hours. According to a Schiphol spokesperson, all queues are currently indoors and the roof outside is not being used.
Schiphol is especially busy on Sunday with passengers arriving. According to a spokesperson, this concerns about 65,000 travelers who return from elsewhere and do not have to go through security. The number of departing passengers is almost 55,000. In total, Schiphol processed 180,000 travelers on Sunday. Transfer passengers are counted as both arriving and departing passengers. In total, there will be 1267 flights on Sunday.
On Saturday, for various reasons, fewer security guards were at work than planned. The queues rose to more than two and a half hours. There were many outraged reactions on social media. Schiphol acknowledges that security remains “challenging”.
