Last year, Schiphol flights dealt with just under 750 aggressive travelers, compared to over 880 the year before. In 2020 and 2021, airline passengers had to wear a face mask at Schiphol and on board the plane. That is partly due to staff shortages at security and baggage handling, often resulting in long lines at Schiphol last year.
