The CEO resigned after the chaos.

After months of chaos at one of Europe's largest transport hubs, the chief executive of Amsterdam's Schiphol airport resigned.

We're not there yet, but I've done my best. Benschop said in a statement that he hoped it would get better soon.

He said that a lot of attention has been directed towards the way in which Schiphol is tackling the problems.

Schiphol will be given the space to make a new start. I don't want the attention on me to be an issue for Schiphol.

It was a pleasure to manage this company.

Benschop will stay in place while the board searches for a new leader.

The demand for travel this summer has made it difficult for the airport to keep up.

One of the first airports to impose a cap on the number of passengers was the airport.

After the peak travel period had ended, passengers complained of long lines at the airport.

Government proposals to cap capacity at the airport in a bid to tackle noise pollution is one of the long-term issues facing the airport.

Annual flights at the airport could be reduced by 12% and 20%.
