Dozens of flights have been cancelled or delayed at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport as a group of KLM baggage handlers went on strike to protest against working conditions and staff shortages.

The strike by KLM baggage handlers coincided with the first day of school holidays in some regions, with many families flying on holiday for the first time since coronavirus restrictions were lifted in many countries.
