Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)

Long queues at Amsterdam Schiphol again yesterday: ‘worst airport ever’

Share

Passengers who departed from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport on Saturday had to be patient again. For many months now, the Dutch airport is struggling with staff shortages, mainly at the security checkpoints. Despite a recently announced action plan, little has changed yet.

“Worst airport ever , 2 security officers for 1000’s of people. Waiting in line for hours to get thru security! Going to be late for my @TurkishAirlines flight , who’s giving me my refund??,” a Twitter user wrote.

“Hey @Schiphol and @KLM is this normal here? Hundreds of passengers waiting outside the terminal? Let’s wait for the rain…,” another Twitter user said.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
