Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has been chosen as the winner of the Business Traveller Award by British business travellers. This marks the 26th time that Schiphol has come out on top in the category 'Best European Airport'.
Schiphol Group Vice President & CCO Maarten de Groof said: 'We're happy that British business travellers have once again, for the twenty-sixth time, named us the best airport in Europe. There are 125 flights between Schiphol and Great Britain each day, travelling to 26 airports in the UK. Great Britain was our single largest destination in 2014, involving some 8.2 million passengers. Within that passenger total, British business travellers constitute a vital target group for Mainport Schiphol.'
Schiphol constructs, converts and connects
In an effort to strengthen its position and ensure that it can continue to offer its passengers and airlines a top-quality product, Schiphol is making substantial infrastructural investments. Take our new Central Security, introduced this year in order to offer passengers greater comfort and a more efficient process. We are also working hard to complete the renovation of Departure Lounge 2, which will similarly prioritise passenger comfort.
