Schiphol cannot rule out the possibility that it will have to ask airlines again to cancel bookings in order to keep the crowds manageable next weekend. “At the moment it is not yet possible to answer that question in black and white with a yes or no,” answers an airport spokesperson.

Last weekend, Schiphol asked airlines to cancel bookings to avoid unmanageable crowds, which meant that dozens of flights were cancelled. Customers from the airport also opted for a few flights to Rotterdam The Hague Airport, a subsidiary of the Schiphol Group.
