The US broker had FlightAware, which tracks the flight status of all flights around the world, to list the places where travelers experience the most delays and canceled flights. Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada takes the cake: More than half of flights there were delayed between May 26 and July 19. Although Schiphol performed slightly better, 41.5 percent of the planes left there late. That’s good for fourth place in the top 10 airports worldwide with the most number of delayed flights.

There is only one airport in Europe among the 10 most canceled flights, but that is – unfortunately for Dutch holidaymakers – Schiphol.

At Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport in China, nearly 8 percent of flights have been canceled in recent weeks, and at Newark Liberty International Airport (US), travelers on 7.4 percent of flights had to look for an alternative.

In the meantime, it’s a busy day in Schiphol due to the early summer holidays in the south of the Netherlands. According to an airport spokesperson, there are 62,000 passengers departing on this day, which means people can wait longer. The spokesman said there were no other problems.

In front of the departure hall in Schiphol, there are rows of passengers waiting outside. “It’s no different from other peak days. We’ve seen it before,” the spokesperson said. Because of congestion in the departure hall, the airport asks people whose flights do not depart within four hours to wait at Schiphol Plaza in order to spread the crowds.

For June, Schiphol has set a maximum number of 63,500 domestic passengers departing per day. These are the people who started their journey in Schiphol. This does not include passenger transportation. At the beginning of August, the number will grow to 73,000 passengers.
