Further data from Schiphol revealed that out of a total of four million passengers in November, 1.4 million passengers had a transfer at the airport.
Meanwhile, the number of passengers with one transfer was 700,000 unique passengers, who are counted twice in the international counting method, which means as an arriving passenger and as a departing passenger.
Based on this data, nearly 2.7 million passengers travelled from or to a destination within Europe and around 1.3 million outside Europe.
In November of this year, the number of flights with all loads decreased from 1,928 to 1,416, compared to the same month last year. However, the total volume transported was 119,074 tonnes in November 2022.
Taking into account that in recent months travellers had missed many flights due to the waiting time due to the lack of security personnel, in October, Schiphol Airport decided to extend the compensation for the loss of these flights.
In this regard, Amsterdam Airport explained that the compensation scheme would be valid for the period from August 12 to October 31.
As a result, travellers who incurred expenses during this period can submit a compensation claim at the airport until November 30.
