Airmageddon KLM, today you will not be able to check luggage if you transit through Amsterdam

Only yesterday we wrote about the email that the CEO of the company wrote to its clients, and today an incredible new chapter is added to the chaos that reigns in, probably, worst airport in Europe right now.
In this article:
This above is the wording that appeared on the company's website in recent hours.
The notice was also sent to all passengers with a flight departing to Amsterdam today, July 21, 2022, and is stark.
"Due to a luggage system malfunction, we encourage you to travel with carry-on luggage only. If you are headed to a European destination, it will not be possible to check any suitcases in the hold. In case this is not possible, please change your reservation or request a voucher."
It is clear what the Dutch carrier is trying to achieve:, the less luggage in the hold the less risk of problems in Amsterdam, but the problem is that passengers check luggage even on short-haul flights because, for example, it is impossible to carry liquids, and other items that are prohibited in hand luggage and that don't go through security checks except at Milan Linate.
They are not, KLM carries transit passengers from Amsterdam, what will happen to the passengers of Air France, ITA Airways and other airlines that have issued tickets involving transits to the Dutch capital?
What is certain is that today in Amsterdam will once again be an airmageddon day., because thousands of travelers will be left stranded or without baggage in what will be one of the worst days in European aviation history.
