IATA criticizes Schiphol’s 33% charge hike approved by Dutch regulator
IATA warns Schiphol’s 33% fee increase by 2027 harms its hub status and risks damaging the Dutch economy and connectivity. The article IATA criticizes Schiphol’s 33% charge hike approved by Dutch regulator first appeared in TravelDailyNews International.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reacted to news that the Consumer and Market Authority in the Netherlands (ACM) has allowed Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to increase charges by a cumulative 33% over the next three years. This means that by 2027, charges will have doubled compared to 2019.
“It is very disappointing that the Regulator can consider a 33% cost increase to be reasonable. Schiphol is set to double its charges in just 8 years, while its services decline, and its capital spending fails to bring in much-needed improvements. Along with the uncertainty over the airport’s future capacity, this can only further damage the viability of Schiphol as a hub airport and the wider economy of the Netherlands,” said Rafael Schvartzman, IATA’s Regional Vice President for Europe.
Aviation supports more than 400,000 jobs and 3.6% of Dutch GDP. The airport is the essential artery for airlines to bring business, goods, and tourism to and from the Netherlands. It is therefore important that the ariport’s tariffs remain reasonable and Schiphol remains competitive.
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is the Netherlands’ primary international gateway and a key hub for the SkyTeam airline alliance. Located approximately 9 kilometers southwest of Amsterdam in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer, North Holland, Schiphol ranks among the world’s busiest airports.
In 2023, it was the third busiest globally for international passenger traffic. In 2019, the airport handled nearly 72 million passengers, making it the third-busiest in Europe by passenger numbers and the busiest in terms of aircraft movements.
Spanning 6,887 acres (2,787 hectares), the airport operates under a single-terminal design, segmented into three main departure halls to streamline passenger flow.
Schiphol serves as the main hub for KLM and its regional partner KLM Cityhopper, and is also a base for Martinair. Additionally, it is a key operating base for Corendon Dutch Airlines, easyJet, Transavia, TUI fly Netherlands, and Vueling.
