Permits at Schiphol

The airport and its surrounding area are in a state of continuous development. This involves such activities as managing, maintaining, and modifying existing infrastructure and assets. Examples include the facilities and technical installations inside the terminal and the runways at and the roads around the airport. In addition, new projects for the creation of new facilities are regularly commissioned by the airport or its partners.

Permits are required by law for some of these activities. Moreover, to ensure the safety, security, technical requirements, and continuity of the airport’s operations, activities have to be coordinated between Schiphol Asset Management and Operational Management. The relevant business units operate an internal permits process for this purpose.
