Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) has announced its intention to limit the total number of departing passengers through the airport until the middle of May.
The airport will implement a cap that will roughly cut the daily throughput of travelers by 5,000 leaving passengers. Around 5% of the passengers who typically use the airport between 6:00 and 13:00 every day for the majority of the time affected are anticipated to be impacted by the reduction. At Schiphol, this time of day is by far the busiest.
Due to a staffing deficit, Schiphol will add an
additional 5% safety margin from the first week of April to May 14. The cap is
probably going to stay in effect until the start of the spring break on April
29 and ending on May 7th. Following discussions with its airline customers,
Schiphol will formally unveil its plans later today. At this point, it seems
unlikely that there will be any significant modifications.
Mr. Boef thinks that Schiphol must lessen the
volume of travelers that pass through it because "...there is too little margin within the
airport’s entire system. Suppose anything goes wrong at security, baggage, or
passenger handling. In that case. In that case, the Koninklijke Marechaussee (Dutch police), or any other
point in the system, there can be a snowball effect that can lead to
chaos within the airport."
“We are coming up
from 40,000. So we are going in the right direction. But we are doing this in
phases and without overloading the system.”
