Message from our CEO
Schiphol is at the heart of Dutch society, serving as a vital hub that connects the Netherlands with the world. Every day, our airports welcome travellers from across the globe, drive our economy forward and bring different cultures together. This is made possible by the dedicated people across our airports who work tirelessly to create high-quality travel experiences. We are proudly building on Schiphol’s legacy, striving to be among the top three airports in Europe.
Royal Schiphol Group helps move the Netherlands forward by enabling seamless travel, global connectivity and economic development. Schiphol, our main airport, has been a home for world travellers for more than 100 years. It serves as a hub for travellers and goods, with a high-quality network that connects the Netherlands to the most important economic, political and cultural centres in the world. With our regional airports, we keep air travel possible for all Dutch citizens, from Eindhoven to Rotterdam and from Lelystad to Maastricht. They are essential to a resilient airport system that can adapt to changing demand, respond to external developments and ensure the continuity of our operations.
Vision 2050 describes our long-term ambition: Happy travellers, airlines and employees, in balance with our environment. The cornerstones of our Vision are the four Qualities - Quality of Network, Quality of Life, Quality of Work and Quality of Service. They are supported by a strong foundation: safety, a robust organisation and reliable assets. Our updated strategic plan for 2025–2035 outlines our goals and actions for the next ten years on our way to realising our long-term ambition and is rooted in our mission: Creating a home for world travellers.
For our non‑financial performance, we focus on restoring Schiphol to the top 3 European hub airports, ensuring resilience and safety. We strive to restore broad societal trust and support for aviation, provide legal certainty for all parties, and be publicly accountable and transparent in our actions. And we aim to further improve the sector’s quality of labour and anticipate a tight labour market. For our financial performance, we strive to ensure financial robustness through prudent financial policies.
