In Dutch:
op luchthaven Schiphol wordt vandaag en morgen weer grote drukte verwacht. Schiphol vroeg afgelopen donderdag aan luchtvaartmaatschappijen om vluchten te schrappen om de werkdruk bij personeel te verlichten. KLM annuleert dit weekend zeker 47 vluchten. Luchtvaartmaatschappijen Corendon en TUI hebben vluchten verplaatst.
Volgens verslaggever Beau Heimensen was het vanochtend rond 08.00 uur inderdaad druk, maar lijkt het allemaal goed door te lopen: "Hier in vertrekhal 1 is de wachttijd ongeveer een half uur. Mensen schrikken wel even als ze aan komen lopen, want de parkeerplaatsen zijn vol en ze zien een rij van honderden meters. Maar verderop in de rij zijn reizigers verbaasd en tevreden hoe snel het gaat."
