Passengers stuck at Schiphol Airport border for over an hour after I.T. system fails
A computer outage at the border control posts at Schiphol Airport on Thursday afternoon caused long lines and headaches for many passengers flying in and out of the airport. The outage lasted between 75 and 90 minutes, with first reports of the issue first surfacing at about 3:30 p.m. Passengers began moving again before 5 p.m., when the Marechaussee acknowledged that the issue was resolved. The military branch is responsible for border checks in the Netherlands, including at Schiphol.
