Erik Elsenaar, an IT consultant waiting at Schiphol for his midday flight to Kuala Lumpur, told the Guardian he was feeling very calm: "This is something that never, never happens, and it's unlikely to happen again. It is a tragedy, but it doesn't look like the attack was either directed at Holland or Malaysia Airways. You can see here that they've already doubled the security at check-in. They will probably triple the checks for bombs. It's definitely safer to travel now than it was to travel the day before yesterday."

Elsenaar said Malaysian Airways staff hadn't mentioned the accident to him during check-in. "I expect this will add an hour extra to my flight, but that's it."

All across Amsterdam, the Dutch flag was hanging at half mast. Floor Reukers and Alex van den Akker, two students having a cigarette break by one of the canals, said they were shocked because everyone seemed to know someone who had recently been on the same flight route or was planning to fly that way soon. "My brother is flying to Kuala Lumpur in a few days," said Reukers, "and a friend of mine flew the same way last week."

Asked how they felt the Dutch government should react to the tragedy, Van den Akker said: "What happened was awful, and we are all thinking of the victims. But we are not going to call for the government to go and catch the perpetrators or go to war. We are not America."

据英国《卫报》7月18日报道，星期五早上，史基浦机场3号航站楼的马来西亚航空公司服务台仍然紧闭，并增加了临时隔板作为路障。只有柜台后的一束白色鲜花暗示着悲剧降临荷兰。
