What was the percentage increase in wheelchair assistance requests for passengers in airside transit at AMS? What was the percentage increase in land-side wheelchair assistance requests for (originating) passengers at AMS?
Where is the evidence of significant increase in faking medical benefit for wheelchair assistance at AMS? Seems more like some want to speculate by assuming a significant increase in faking health need based on nothing more than an increase in wheelchair assistance requests over the same period in 2019. Long Covid wasn’t an issue in 2019. The lines at AMS in 2019 weren’t like in 2022. Even the demographics of who was flying into/out of AMS in 2019 isn’t necessarily the same as in 2022. All of that and more can be more relevant to the 35% increase than people “faking it” being highlighted after the attention-seeking social media hysteria generated by that guy flying out of Turkey.
