Sustainability and safety as basic conditions
Sustainability and safety are key priorities in everything we do. Aviation activities have an impact on the quality of life in our environs due to noise disturbance and emissions. We aim to reduce our negative impact on our environment and pursue a proactive approach with our sector partners to make the aviation industry more sustainable. With all partners, we continuously enhance airport safety management processes, but also promote safety awareness among employees, visitors and contractors. Click to read more.
The best connections
Schiphol's strength lies in its network of destinations. It makes Schiphol one of Europe’s best directly connected airports. Our strategy is to facilitate moderate and controlled growth at Schiphol with a focus on Mainport-related traffic. This is required in order to balance the benefits and negative consequences of air travel. We invest in resilient infrastructure. Landside accessibility represents one of the long-term challenges facing our airports with regard to potential congestion. We stimulate the expansion of public transport infrastructure.
