Amsterdam Schiphol To Limit Passenger Numbers This Summer
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2024
- Unable to keep up with an increasing footfall, Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport has capped the number of passengers this summer due. The decision is the result of an ongoing labor shortage and will undoubtedly affect airline revenue and passenger plans during the busy summer season.

I am airline staff, low wages, long hours.... the only true benefit is discount on flights, please DO NOT abuse the staff, we also pay a steep price for mismanagement! Thank you.
Airline staff as well as airport workers NEED to be paid better. They are the backbone of an industry worth billions and billions on its own and that also generates TRILLIONS to the entities that use it. The workers making this industry possible NEED to be paid better wages.
I don't envy you brother. Good luck!
Everyone should be treated with respect.
There is no such thing as worker shortage. Just employers not wanting to pay the salary the workers want and deserve.
That's damn right
Truth!
Airports around the world will do ANYTHING but provide good wages to people working there, and then have the huge audacity of saying "why is nobody applying?"
Exactly.
This is what’s happening globally. Airport support companies paid off too many employees in the pandemic. Now at lot of them are retired or finding work elsewhere better paid and more sociable hours .
Absolutely spot on comment 👌, uk and Ireland are the same, airports are run on greed.
if they need i go to work on airport today becouse i love airplanes.and Amsterdam as one of biggest u can see a every type of planes....my dream job plus i can speak read and write en it slo cro language
@@jeffbridges666 greed is big problem everywhere...special in Slovenia
Yeaah but here in Amsterdam it went waaayyy to far
It’s not global…
It's not only Amsterdam, but a lot of airports around the world who have or get this problem also.
Airlines see the surge, schedule flights, sell them full, then are surprised when they learn there are not enough crews to handle the load? Completely self-inflicted wounds and horrible business practices.
My brother flew out of schiphol to Toronto at the end of April and he was in the security line for at least 2 hours. Luckily his flight waited but then on his arrival in Toronto he had to wait on the plane for 45mins after reaching the gate because it was so busy in the airport
Delta airlines, like many, wonder why they can’t hire more solid employees. Starting rates for above and below wing positions aren’t even $16 per hour and you’re not guaranteed 40hrs per week. Hmmm 🤔
I was at Amsterdam 6 hours early for my flight and was still the last one on.
I discussed this matter recently and for the UK it's a security clearance delay which I suspect is across the board.
However, to sell and then cancel at the very last moment is poor financially and reputationally.
A large flag carrier has been cancelling flights with greater than two weeks notice as to minimise the impact both in terms of compensation and bad publicity.
The big question is why did both airlines and airports sell either seats or slots that they knew they couldn't fulfil based on staffing levels and recruitment processes. It seems like a case of sell now and hope for the best where as if they had reduced the supply, the demand would have pushed prices up to an equilibrium.
I have worked at Schiphol they primarily use employment agency's so u don't have any securities. They can fire u without payoff or reduce the hours that you work. This is what happened during Corona, I didn't know if could pay my rent anymore so i switched jobs. Glad it worked out for me and I am never going back. It's a shame that it's always the heaviest unfashionable jobs that are needed the most but they get treated like garbage.
This. A self-made "problem". They should pay people a decent salary. Especially ones that require security clearance
that does surprise me I thought the Dutch took good care of its people and Schiphol would only have full time staff that were well payed it's a great airport and I miss it
When I landed to Frankfurt, I had to wait an hour for my lounge because of lack of staff
We really have a problem lol
Schipolo fired massively during Covid, and now they do not have enough staff to resume traffic volumes to this amount. People tend to thinks it was a bad planning, maybe Schipol's management did not plan in time the recruitment of the necessary security and handling staff, but this in not completely true. In fact, management has a goal to maximize profits, and what they are doing now is a "stress test". They strech the system at his maximum, to test the patience of the passengers to accept the disruptions, and only when system is next to break, they do something, but acting on the airlines and not on their recruitment plan. They keep maximizing profit and they want to set up the system to be ready for the reduced traffic that will come in 2023 by law to reduce pollution in the area. Greed is managing Schipol at the moment.
Maybe paying workers fairly might help?
Dublin has similar problems yet Shannon and Cork are under utilised.
I live in Edinburgh, worked in the security dept. At Edinburgh airport for 5yrs but was made redundant in Nov 2020…last month I got an email through indeed offering a 20week contract to work at Dublin Airport, flights and accom paid for. Immediately rejected the offer, even if I wasn’t in a better job now, after seeing Dublins problems, I still would of said no haha
@@Itchyknee88 You were right to reject it. The cost of living in Dublin is a rip off.
Brussels even canceled all flights yesterday and Dusseldorf advsied passengers to arrive 5h before Departure. Suprisingly Airports like Munich or Frankfurt did not have any problems like that
Brussels canceled all flights because of a strike led by security services. At first they tried to maintain activities warning there could be queues of 8 hours. Realizing it was unmanageable they canceled all flights.
@@gepatvplus Yes, but a strike normally doesnt close an airport. The problem was that there was a strike and a staff shortage at once.
@@mstrmren They went on strike because of the staff shortage. Actually in Belgium the staff shortages are only partially due to Corona, as there was a good system of furlough here. but they already had shortages before Corona and during they obviously didn't hire additional people.
And yes, an airport can be closed due to a strike. If for instance all air traffic controllers are on strike, no airplane will leave or land. Same with security.
You should do one on Toronto Pearson Airport (CYYZ)
It makes this look 2020!
I had the same issue with Delta at both JFK and LGA. The lack of personnel was well documented but they continued to insist that the mass cancellations was only due to “weather” 😂
It makes sense when considering the long tsa lines that cause you to miss your flight but I feel like there would be a better way of handling this.
I personally don't see this getting better until the autumn, when demand drops. All the fresh new security cleared staff might find the summer surge is already over. I'd advise anyone who hasn't yet booked a summer holiday to wait as long as they can, the med is still warm even in September/October. Unfortunately for those who can't, in many parts of Europe an alternative "staycation" is becoming so expensive (especially with the cost of fuel) and overbooked that the only real option is to stay at home and only do the odd day or weekend trip.
When a year or two ago the eggheaded heads of airlines and airports depressingly assessed the forecasts of recovery after covid and made generous personnel decisions, a modest assistant had to ask for words and say: "Well, all this is cool, but shouldn't we make a backup plan just in case, what will we do if people tired of isolation unanimously want to travel and the restoration of passenger traffic SUDDENLY happens faster, what are we thinking about now?"
But, unfortunately, this particular employee was on sick leave that day...
Yes our flight was cancelled too from Minneapolis to Amsterdam
I was there on June 4th flew in from the states. Already traveled 10 hrs on 2 flights to arrive in Amsterdam for my final flight to Stuttgart just to see it was canceled and I had to wait 19hrs for a flight next morning at 7:30 am. We slept in the airport because there’s was no other choice. At midnight KLM passed out in flight blankets and pillows for me and a dosen or so passengers “sleeping” in the hallway.
Currently in Europe, and my flight back to Canada has me going through Schipol. Everyday I am increasingly nervous about being stuck unable to return home. Here's to hoping!
One of my flight to Amsterdam got canceled but when we booked an new we arrived at Amsterdam but we had a very short connection luckily we went in to our next flight
This is our national airport. So sad to see. Many flights are canceled that were booked months in advance. Huge shortage of security personnel. It's working against the reconstruction of Schiphol after covid-19..
There is no such thing as shortage of workers. Pay them better, and the ''shortage'' will disappear.
@@SkateGeneva you would think so, but in the Netherlands there are many more vacancies than there are unemployed. And they're already getting 900 euros more per month this summer, so you can see it's not 100% effective!
Definitely not just restricted to this airport - similar lines in major airports in Australia too over Easter period and predicted for our school holidays - they put off all their causal staff and now struggling to get staff level back to normal
I’m flying to Miami from Heathrow in a few weeks and istg nothing is getting in my way cuz this trip has been hooked for 3 years and delayed countless times. If I have to run security and put bags on the plane myself, I will
We are experiencing the same problem down under as well, can you do a video on Australian airlines
I was supposed to fly from Amsterdam to Mexico City in June for a vacation, but thankfully I decided to go in April...
Oh boy
Flying LAX - AMS with KLM on August 31st.... I sure hope problems have been sorted by then.
The vacation period in the Netherlands is that time over so its probobly fine
I am from the Netherlands. And lately, it's been continuously on the news that Schiphol is overflowing
Luckily I had no issue when I flew to Germany a few days ago with easyjet from London Gatwick to Berlin. The flight did have a delay though both ways as there weren't enough ground staff at both airports to load and unload the aircraft. Luckily I only had carry on luggage so I didn't have the Issues that others had when they waited for theirs to come off. In all honesty I think this issue will last for a while as people apparently do not want to return to work at airports because pay isnt all that good apparently? and so are the shift patterns. but hopefully by summer 2023 this will hopefully have been solved. but then no one can see what the future brings right now. Covid is still amongst us and can still cause chaos somewhere along the line.
there is a sale on at eurostar offering 20per cent discount
I’m having my holiday in the UK this year because of the mess the airlines are in. I’ll see how things are next year.
I think this will last for 8-9 months with a slight downgrade of que length overtime. I did not see much traffic in Schiphol yesterday, but maybe because it was late In the evening?
flew out of there Wed morning June 15 just arrive 3 hour before your flight if your orginiating and you should be fine.
2:48 oh just 90 to 100 min wait no biggie 😊
I have 4 flights to/from AMS in August 🙃
South Africa to AMS, from AMS to Stockholm, Munich to AMS, and AMS to JFK...
God bless your heart 🫡
yeah, what do YOU think about it ?
I have missed my flight from Amsterdam to st Martin…
Maybe try paying the employees better, there is a reason they can’t get people to work at that airport, either the conditions are dreadful or the pay is awful.
Absolutely, PAY YOUR WORKERS A FAIR WAGE. There is no such thing as a labour shortage, only greedy companies
Inefficiency & incompetence
Nope, they fired all the low payed staff during the pandemic and are now surprised those essential workers don’t come back
Plain ridiculous !
1:10 Vivek Agnihotri's tweet
My god.
What would help in the short term is cancelling the very short flights all together and encouraging passengers to take trains or buses instead. 500km by rail or bus isn't that bad. that way there is more capacity for longer flights. The other option is to spread out the flights over the entire day. yes that means horrible 2am departures etc. but your still going to get there
That’s actually a good idea. I hope the flights they do decide to cancel are the short ones, because we’re flying from schipol to lax in two weeks
I hope the affected airlines will suit the Schiphol Airport for the loss of income
i cannot understand how now everything rise in price and for the first timw in my life is sortage of people for practic any type of work...
Never ever happened this one before. One of the biggest impact of aviation history. We have to find the solution together... all aviation participants, because It is affected the all industry
just pay more
Is this a “great reset” shortage?
SAS has cancelled 4000 flight this summer…
So, our Asian counterparts should hire staff like now, then it will have sufficient workforces for the increasing air travel demand.
Now opened Asian countries like Malaysia or Singapore even South Korea are facing less,due to the slower pace of other places in Asia opening slow.
What does that Dutch statement translate to.
Has Air India bought airbus 350?🤔
This is the logical consequence and comeuppance for capitalism being heartlessly shortsighted. This wouldn't have happened if they had kept the employees on furlough.
Heathrow put limit on passengers, Schiphol too, who's next..
Can't airport hire more staff? I mean where I live, the airport is almost fully staffed, they hired more people.
No, we have a huge shortage in labour force and an extremely low unemployment.
Lay off people like there's no tomorrow, this is what you get.
Not really a surprise
Are airlines overbooking flights?
No
Please don't affect Edmonton's ONLY non-stop to Europe via KLM and AMS... Our city can't take another hit after the FIFA 2026 disaster of last week..
The best way to replace those layoffs should be AI robots in various positions. This could quickly be recruited and trained, and meet all demands as it surges
Terrible. Unbelievable this could happen in a dutch airport.
Why? Why would dutch airports be different from German and Belgian airports
@@mstrmren because the netherlands is better
@@Imperial_stroopwafel Than Germany? Don't think so. Both countries do different things better.
@@mstrmren Schiphol is better then frankfurt imo
@@wasmiddelsap3379 It defnitely is.
I don't feel sorry.
This is what you get.
Suffering from success 😭🤣
I love Schipol. Sad to see things like this.
I find this report very hard to believe. Gas prices are at a record high, which should affect air fares under normal circumstances. Why would anyone at this time, even be considering taking holidays by air to anywhere in Europe?...
I bought my tickets way before gas prices started getting high
incredibly easy to solve this problem. Just pay the workers what they really deserve and recall all former employees with better fees. Problem solved.
But nooo rich people must be richer.
I will first time use KLM from New York to Amsterdam Nederland transfer other country long time ago I was in Europe time go visit whole filmy Plus friends I mad so that i will have problem 3 weeks i need to go I am depressed from New York City shooting every day city sick not like long time visit 14 country in Europe relaxing safely meet nice people America sick gun violence all over more guns then cellphone and cars pro person in US time go do something KLM Airline do something Nederland government should step into Not cancel flight or limited them ok bye
