Quarantine:
Airlines flying to the Netherlands may apply an alternative protocol for the crew. The protocol must include a test requirement before departure and strict quarantine regulations for the crew during their stay abroad. The reason for the alternative method is that KLM and other airlines have indicated that the rapid test obligation with worldwide destinations is not feasible for them in practice.; 23/03/2022: people travelling to the Netherlands no longer need to show a negative test result.
