More than 660,000 passengers flew from, via or to Schiphol in March. In March 2020, the month when Schiphol felt the first major effects of COVID-19, that number was 2.4 million. In March 2019, 5.6 million passengers travelled through Schiphol. The number of flights to and from Schiphol fell to 12,220 – more than 50% fewer than in March 2020. The number of flights decreased 69% compared to 2019. The number of cargo flights increased to 2,326 (+74% compared to 2020, +79% compared to 2019), which contributed to a 27% increase in transported tonnage compared to last year and a 6% increase compared to 2019.

Passengers

Of the more than 660,000 passengers in March, almost 400,000 passengers had a transfer at Schiphol. The travellers with a transfer were almost 200,000 unique passengers, who are counted two times in the international counting method: as an arriving passenger and departing passenger.

Cargo

The number of all-cargo flights has increased significantly, from 1,338 to 2,326. This compensates for the tonnage normally transported on passenger flights, with the total transported volume increasing by 27% to more than 150,000 tonnes, compared with last year. The total volume increased by 6% compared with March 2019. The increase in the number of all-cargo flights mainly took place in respect of North America and Latin America.
