The May holiday is traditionally one of the most intensive and busy peak periods at Schiphol Airport, during which thousands of families travel at the same time. During the large-scale and strategic 'Flamingo Project' in 2023, Pro HSB was selected to manage this massive influx of holidaymakers effectively. Our specially trained employees were tasked with the key responsibility of optimizing throughput around crucial security checkpoints and reducing pressure on the systems.
Security screening is experienced by many travelers as a stressful and time-consuming part of their journey. Pro HSB professionals provided active, tactical, and proactive support here. By giving passengers in queues accurate and friendly advance instructions regarding hand luggage rules and preparation for the scanning lanes, we significantly accelerated the actual screening process at the lanes and kept unnecessary delays to a minimum.
Speed and efficiency at an airport should never come at the expense of the human touch and customer friendliness. Especially during a hectic holiday period, a welcoming approach is essential to the traveler experience. Despite the high operational pressure on the floor, our teams succeeded in welcoming millions of travelers in an exceptionally friendly, calm, and personal manner and guiding them to the correct gate.
The Flamingo Project clearly proved that targeted, flexible, and professional support at critical bottlenecks yields immediate, measurable results. Thanks to the seamless deployment and positive energy of our staff, millions of holidaymakers were able to continue their journey with a smile and without unnecessary stress, resulting in an excellent project evaluation from the airport authority.
