Schiphol is launching five major tenders to appoint long-term construction and maintenance partners. This marks an important step in the airport’s modernisation programme and in improving the experience for travellers and airlines. Over the coming years, Schiphol will invest billions of euros in enhancing the airport’s quality, reliability and capacity while tackling overdue maintenance. To fulfil that ambition, Schiphol is opting for long-term partnerships with construction and installation companies. Under this new approach, Schiphol will take greater control of the management and development of its own infrastructure.
“At Schiphol, we are undertaking the largest renewal and maintenance programme in our history. Our goal is to restore Schiphol to the standard of Europe’s leading airports, offering a high-quality experience for travellers and airlines. That starts with the fundamentals: well-maintained and reliable infrastructure. Large parts of our infrastructure will be renewed, replaced or renovated over the coming years. Between 2025 and 2035, Schiphol will invest €10 billion in renewal and quality improvements. To achieve this, we need strong partners. With these tenders, we are laying the foundation for long-term collaboration, combining the market’s expertise with greater direction and control from Schiphol. Together, we are building a future-proof airport, ensuring that Schiphol remains the international hub that connects the Netherlands with the world.” Bart Smolders, Chief Infrastructure Officer, Royal Schiphol Group (....)
