Schiphol and the unions will continue to negotiate the situation at the airport on Monday afternoon. A Schiphol spokesperson emphasized that the intention is to reach an agreement as soon as possible to improve the working conditions of the staff and to reduce the workload.
“We want to reach an agreement before June 1, so we hope to reach an agreement with the unions on Monday or Tuesday,” the spokesman said.
Travelers via Schiphol queue for weeks for so long that some even miss their flight. CEO Dick Benschop reacts Tuesday in the House of Representatives about the chaos that is partly caused by staff shortages. According to the airport, it will be busy every day until the summer holidays.
Schiphol recently drew up an action plan to combat the crowds and long queues of passengers during the summer period. For example, Schiphol wants to hire more security guards, make employment conditions more attractive for employees and improve the passenger flow through the terminal.
This concerns, for example, coaches who help people to provide safety and better information more quickly. In addition, agreements are being made with airlines to reduce and relocate flights.
