In April 2019, 6.1 million passengers travelled through Schiphol. The number of flights to and from Schiphol was 13,722 – more than 65% fewer than in April 2019. The number of cargo flights increased to 2,070 (+13% compared to 2020, +84% compared to 2019), which contributed to a 51% increase in transported tonnage compared to last year and a 11% increase compared to 2019.

Passengers

Of the almost 787,000 passengers in April, almost 460,000 passengers had a transfer at Schiphol. The travellers with a transfer were almost 230,000 unique passengers, who are counted two times in the international counting method: as an arriving passenger and departing passenger.
