SCHIPHOL – Winter weather conditions are causing delays and cancellations at Schiphol Airport today, as snow, strong winds and mandatory de-icing operations reduce the airport’s operational capacity. With fewer runways available for takeoffs and landings, flight schedules have been adjusted, particularly affecting European and connecting flights.
According to Schiphol and Air Traffic Control Netherlands, the airport’s capacity is temporarily limited, leading to delays and cancellations across parts of the network. Passengers are advised to closely monitor the status of their flights throughout the day.
For travelers heading to the Caribbean, however, the situation appeared relatively stable on Wednesday afternoon. A TUI flight to Curaçao (OR393) was operating with a delay, while KLM flight KL0733 was preparing to depart for Curaçao.
Flights to Bonaire also remained on schedule. KLM flight KL767 was set to depart at 12:50 local time, followed by KL779 approximately one hour later. In addition, a Corendon flight to Curaçao (CD5989) was scheduled to depart as planned at 2:00 p.m.
While Schiphol cautioned that conditions could change during the day due to ongoing winter weather, current schedules indicate that intercontinental flights to the Caribbean islands are being less severely affected than the European flight network. Airlines continue to keep passengers informed of any last-minute changes through their apps and websites.
