Royal Schiphol Group

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol plans to invest €6 billion ($6.7 billion) over the next five years for infrastructure improvements.

Airport operator Royal Schiphol Group said it plans to provide capacity for 293,000 flights in the summer season from March 31 to Oct. 26.

A doubling of the number of unruly passengers onboard KLM flights has triggered a Netherlands initiative to stem the problem.

Ruud Sondag, who has been interim CEO since November 2022, will stay in the role until March, when CFO Robert Carsouw will temporarily take over as interim CEO.

With fewer slots available next summer at Amsterdam’s airport, the Netherlands’ plan to cap flight capacity to limit noise is starting to become a reality.

The Dutch government's proposal pares Amsterdam Schiphol flight movements per year to 452,500, down 10.5% from the current 500,000 cap.

Passenger numbers at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport hit 28.7 million in the first half of the year—below the 34.5 million counted during the same period in 2019.

Operational disruptions and staffing shortages took a toll on the Amsterdam hub in 2022.

Amsterdam-Boston is among the routes that could be cut if the Dutch government’s AMS plan is implemented.

The Dutch airport is lowering capacity caps further.

The Dutch hub is struggling with serious operational issues and forcing airlines to cut capacity to Amsterdam.

The airports operator is downgrading its forecast for full-year passenger numbers.
