A group of about a dozen passengers travelling to Amsterdam from Helsinki-Vantaa airport on Friday were refused entry onto the aircraft because they did not produce sufficient evidence of a negative coronavirus test result.
Since 29 December the Netherlands, like many other countries, has requested that passengers arriving into the country provide evidence of a negative test result.
