What this means for your journey
If you are traveling to, from, or via Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, your flight may be delayed or canceled.
Due to limited capacity across airlines, crew scheduling adjustments, and operational constraints caused by the weather, rebooking is taking longer than usual. Please be assured that our teams are working around the clock to get you to your destination as soon as possible.

Due to a recent baggage system failure at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol not all checked baggage was loaded onto flights as planned. We understand this impacts your travel plans, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. The good news is that almost all affected baggage has been sent on its way to the original destination airport.
What happens next?
- Our teams are working 24/7 to deliver your baggage to your airport destination or home/temporary address as soon as possible. Because of the large backlog and the busy holiday season, delivery may take longer than expected. Please note that most baggage onload can only take place during nighttime hours.
- We understand that you are waiting for updates on your baggage. Due to the high volume of delayed baggage, we’re currently unable to provide individual status updates. As soon as delivery or pick-up arrangements are confirmed, our local team will contact you directly. To speed up processing, some baggage has not been scanned and will travel under its original label. As a result, its status might not be displayed in the system. However, your baggage is still on its way to the destination airport.
What can you do?
Do you need to purchase small items like clothing and toiletries because your baggage is delayed? You can request reimbursement of all reasonable expenses via the KLM website. https://www.klm.nl/en/claim Please find more information regarding your delayed baggage via https://www.klm.nl/en/information/baggage/delayed-baggage
