Schiphol app now shows busy places at the airport

The iOS and Android Schiphol app will now show where it is busy or quiet after the airport security check. Schiphol says that travelers can see where it is easy to keep one and a half meters away.

The app shows with the colors blue and pink on a map where it is busier. Pink spots are busier, here it is difficult to keep 1.5 meters away, according to the app. Blue spots are calmer than pink spots, here it must be ‘possible’ to be able to keep enough distance. Areas without spots are ‘very quiet’ and keeping a distance should be easy, Schiphol writes. The airport does not specify how crowds are measured.

Schiphol says it has chosen the area behind the security check, because this is the area where travelers spend the most time at the airport. In addition, most users would use the app after passing this check.
