Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has launched the Schiphol Business Taxi service, including a green, electric version - the Electric Business Taxi.

Schiphol Business Taxi is a luxury taxi service especially designed to help business travellers start or end their journey in business class style. The taxi is a new version of the popular Schiphol Travel Taxi, which has already been in use for many years. Both of these transport products are offered by the joint venture between Schiphol Group and Connexxion.

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport now has a multimedia bus tour that provides a behind-the-scenes look at the airport.

The 'Schiphol behind the scenes' tour gives access to places at the airport that visitors would not normally see, such as the fire service, the snow clearance fleet, the cargo aprons with their large hangars, and the terminal for private jets. Even the old air traffic control tower has been included. The tour has been specially designed for young and old, day-trippers, tourists and passengers arriving or transferring at Schiphol.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has given the green light for its ‘Share Your Food, Feed a Child’ social media campaign on behalf of UNICEF.

Through this social campaign, Schiphol is helping UNICEF with its work for children all over the world, for example in the Sahel, where currently thousands of children are severely malnourished. Participants in the campaign can visit the campaign page via www.schiphol.nl/shareyourfood.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has welcomed its one billionth passenger.

British business travellers have again voted Amsterdam Airport Schiphol as the winner of the Business Traveller Award in the category 'Best Airport in Europe 2011'. In the category 'Best Airport in the World' Amsterdam Airport Schiphol came fourth after Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai

Henry van der Geest, Control & Pricing Manager of Schiphol Group, accepted the award during the ceremony held in London. “It feels wonderful to be so appreciated by the British business traveller and to receive this award - this year for the 22nd time” said Van der Geest. “It tells us that people appreciate what we are doing in pursuing our ambition to be and remain Europe's Preferred Airport. As a hub airport, we are vital to the British market. Many passengers fly via Schiphol onward to their destinations in the rest of the world.”
