Schiphol to also limit passenger numbers in
September, October
Schiphol will also limit the number of travelers at
the airport in September and October, the airport announced on Tuesday. Next
month, a maximum of 67,500 travelers can depart per day. In October, the limit
is 69,500 travelers per day.
The airport
said that measures are particularly necessary during the autumn holidays. If
all seats on all scheduled flights were sold, the airport would have 3,500
passengers more than it can handle per day.
Schiphol
first limited the number of passengers that could depart from the airport in
July and August. Staff shortages at security led to long lines and even a few
disturbances since the May holidays. To guarantee safety, the airport adapted
its capacity to the number of security guards available.
The limit
set for October is the same as the maximum number of departing passengers the
airport could handle in July. The airport said it could manage 73,000 departing
passengers daily in August. Though on the first day of this month, there were
again long lines and missed flights at Schiphol.
