Schiphol and its contractors are working on the 2024-2029 investment portfolio, including maintenance and renovation of aviation infrastructure, renovations of passenger and employee facilities and implementing new ways to improve working conditions. In the past months, several new facilities, among them shops and restaurants in the lounges, have opened their doors.
Maintenance and renewal works announced in previous investment plans will continue. Important parts of the airport infrastructure – including Pier C, the baggage basement, climate-control systems, escalators, aircraft stands and taxiways – are due to undergo major maintenance or need renewing. Pier A will be completed and new construction projects, such as a refurbished baggage basement, will start.
“It is in everyone’s interest that Schiphol once again becomes a high-quality airport with robust infrastructure and excellent service to our passengers and airlines. Our investment plans of €6bn in the next five years are larger than ever before and fundamental to achieve this. Realising our ambitions require a significant step-up and acceleration of our operational cash flows, without losing focus on our competitiveness,” said Robert Carsouw, CFO, Royal Schiphol Group.
