Traffic times 2 to 3 Inefficient use airspace

Fragmented airspace /

sovereignty states

! Terminal and landside

capacity bottleneck for growth

Airside capacity (runway/stands)

Growth requires increase in capacity Stretching and optimizing assets temporary solution, but not for long term growth!

Sweating assets as temporary solution to postpone crunch Optimal use of existing assets …

• Upgrade aircraft stands to accommodate larger aircraft by

‘cannibalising’ on narrow body capacity

• Reconfiguration departure halls

• Enlarging baggage systems & reclaim hall capacity

• Quality improvement passenger process (SSDOP, off-airport bag drop, self service immigration, centralized security concept)

• Redesign lounges and innovative concepts (Airport Park, Holland Boulevard, Library, Rijksmuseum @ Schiphol)

SES/SESAR Public Dialogue

Liberalisation

Airport

Masterplanning

Regional Airports

License to grow/operate Achieving the main objectives on

capacity, costs and reduction of

environmental impact is essential

its regional airports for

different markets, as ‘relief

capacity’ for the hub operation

at mainport Schiphol

Create optimal conditions for

development EU aviation and

to strengthen the competitive

position EU vs non-EU

Partnership between hub

airports and ANSP’s crucial

to solve capacity crunch

Airport Masterplanning to solve capacity crunch at airports Masterplan Schiphol outlines capacity expansion for growth of 10% in runway

capacity during peak periods and 50% in passenger/ATM volume

Masterplan Schiphol Spatial reservation for long

term capacity expansion

Masterplan robust towards 580.000

Masterplan at 510.000 & 64 mln pax
