Little by little it is becoming known how different airlines are dealing with the capacity restrictions at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. For example, Corendon, Transavia, Tuifly Netherlands and Royal Jordanian are relocating some of their offers to other airports.

The State Air Malta will be the course pair KM386/387 on Monday and Wednesday traffic days to/from Rotterdam. This shift is currently limited to the period from July 11 to 27, 2022, although it cannot be ruled out that this measure will have to be extended.

Royal Jordanian will not be in Amsterdam on July 13, 20 and 27, 2022, but land and take off in Maastricht. The carrier will provide its passengers with a bus shuttle service. This carrier cannot currently rule out the possibility that further flights will have to be relocated.

The Corendon Airlines significantly more flights are affected. The airline explained, among other things, that 35 connections will be completely canceled or combined with offers from smaller Dutch airports. Around 150 flights are to be relocated from Schiphol to Rotterdam. This is around 25 percent of the capacity planned from the largest airport in the Netherlands.

Transavia already has in July 2022 alone about 200 flights from Schiphol canceled. It is assumed that around 70 percent of travelers can be rebooked on their own flights from other Dutch airports. The capacity that has to be subtracted in Amsterdam will be shifted to the airports of Eindhoven, Rotterdam and Brussels. The company also acknowledged that no replacement flights – including those on the KLM route network – have yet been found for around 30 percent of those affected.

The offer will be partially shifted to Liège and Rotterdam Tuifly Netherlands. The company explained, among other things: “In addition to nearby Rotterdam, Liège, just below Maastricht, was chosen because the necessary slots and parking spaces are available there and the opening times are convenient.”

Schiphol is asking American Airlines to restrict ticket sales

Meanwhile, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has too American Airlines urged that the sale of airline tickets should be restricted. Due to the capacity limits, it is not possible to process so many passengers.
