It was busy at Schiphol Airport during the first Saturday of the April/May holiday break, an airport spokesperson said. There were consistent queues of people over the course of the morning, but passengers have not had to wait for very long."It is busy, but manageable, and the atmosphere is good among passengers," she said at around 9 a.m. on Saturday. Peak days were expected to draw about 80,000 departing passengers, and the airport predicted an average of more than 70,000 departing passengers every day during the weeklong school vacation.

Schiphol will raise its take-off and landing fees by 14.8 percent in 2024. The increase is intended to help absorb the financial blow brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, the airport announced on Friday in a press release. Schiphol stated that the higher rates are necessary to compensate for the income lost in 2022 due to decreased air traffic, which was a consequence of the Covid-19 travel restrictions that led to fewer airline flights.
