Air freight handling at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport continues to face operational challenges. Ongoing capacity constraints have resulted in significantly longer waiting times at several cargo handling agents. Truck drivers delivering or collecting freight are currently experiencing waiting times of between four and eight hours.
These delays not only affect transport planning but may also impact the onward handling of air freight shipments.
The main causes remain the persistent shortage of personnel and the heavy workload among the various ground handling companies.
