Icelandair chose to solve the baggage handling problems at Schiphol by itself.
Many airports in Europe are suffering short-staffing issue. Airlines are now desperate to find a way to avoid the chaos. This is why Icelandair chose to send baggage handlers as additional crew members on all flights to Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.
“We have also been sending people ourselves out to smooth over the bag problems that have come up. Since last Friday, we have added two bag handlers to our crew to Amsterdam to speed things up and keep planes on time.”
“We will have to see how it develops and whether we carry this on, and even maybe to other destinations. As I say, we are trying to find ways to reduce the effects of these delays and minimise disruption to the journeys of our passengers.”
