Schiphol and their contractors are working intensively on the investment portfolio, including maintenance and renovation of aviation infrastructure, renovations of passenger and employee facilities and implementing innovative ways to improve working conditions. In the past months, several new facilities such as new shops and restaurants in the Lounges opened their doors. As a lot of work is still to be done, the maintenance and renewal works will continue for the years to follow, extending the previously communicated investment plans.
Between 2024 and 2029, Schiphol is investing 6 billion Euros to improve the airport facilities. 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 the new baggage basement, will start.
