NETHERLANDS. The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the European travel sector was clear to see at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol today (17 March).
On a typical Tuesday in mid-March, the gateway to the Netherlands would have expected roughly 180,000 people to pass through it.
Yet the pictures kindly sent to us by Aircommerce Founder and CEO (and Trinity Challenge winner 2019) Melvin Broekaart of the airside area paint a very different picture. With the country introducing sweeping social distancing measures, many food & beverage outlets at the airport have been closed and the retail shops are almost deserted.
