Schiphol Group's international focus is towards better facilitating its most important customers by seeking collaboration with the foreign airports of greatest importance to them. This will strengthen its competitive position. The expansive global network of Air France-KLM and its SkyTeam partners plays a key role in this. The SkyTeam alliance is the largest transatlantic joint venture in the aviation sector, with Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Aeroports de Paris and JFK International Airport serving as important hubs.

In addition, Schiphol Group will maintain international partnerships and continues to pursue the effective management of existing participations.
