Netherlands: Air traffic at Amsterdam still disrupted after fuel outage

Air traffic at Amsterdam Schiphol was still disrupted Thursday after an outage at its main fuel supplier left thousands of passengers stranded at the airport the day before. KLM, the main airline at Schiphol, said it had cancelled 61 flights to and from Amsterdam Thursday, after around 200 flights were scrapped the previous day. Many flights from the airport were delayed Thursday morning, as airlines tried to get their schedules back on track. "Many passengers have to find new flights, which is kind of a puzzle," a Schiphol spokesman said. The problems at Schiphol were caused by a fault in the systems that supply fuel to aircraft, which meant planes could not be provided with the fuel they needed to depart. The airport said all problems with the fuel system were resolved Wednesday evening, and flights would resume gradually. <br/>
