Amsterdam Airport Schiphol:

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is a very modern airport. One of Europe’s main hub airports, over the years Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has grown into Europe’s Preferred Airport, with direct connections to destinations all over the world. These scheduled services fly from at least 160 destinations within Europe and from 140 non-European destinations. As many as 106 airlines fly to Schiphol, conveniently located in the heart of western Europe. Moreover, Amsterdam Airport-Schiphol enjoys a very special status among its users, ranking first among the world’s airports in virtually every poll conducted among frequent international travellers.

It is Schiphol Airport’s ambition to continue to develop Schiphol into Europe’s Preferred Airport: the airport of choice for travellers, airlines and logistic service providers alike. In order to serve as and remain Europe’s Preferred Airport, Schiphol fulfils its responsibility for five social themes: sustainable employment, accessibility, climate-friendly aviation, raw materials and residual waste streams, and the local community, noise and air quality. Upon arrival in the Netherlands, travellers immediately experience the first sigh of Dutch hospitality, i.a.: the uncomplicated customs procedure conducted by the friendly and courteous people of the Dutch Customs Service staff. After leaving the baggage reclaim area, you can board a train carrying you directly to the city centre within 15 minutes.
