Netherlands: Air Malta is relocating individual routes to Rotterdam
Due to the fact that capacity is being restricted at Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport, the airline Air Malta has to shift some of its scheduled flights for July 2022 to Rotterdam. All airlines that have Schiphol in their route network have to reduce their services. The reason for this is that there is an acute shortage of staff at the Netherlands' largest airport. This cannot be remedied in the short term, so maximum limits have been introduced on the number of passengers who can use Schiphol every day. Some airlines are shifting at least some of their planned services to other airports. For example, Royal Jordanian has chosen Maastricht. Air Malta will shift the KM386/387 flight pairs to Rotterdam on Mondays and noon between July 11 and July 27, 2022. In a media statement, the company regrets the circumstances, but stresses that it has no other option.
