Amsterdam improves

Schiphol Airport has completed a major renovation project in Departure Hall 1 with a new connecting walkway.

As part of the revamp, the airport has made several additions including a mezzanine floor to offer more space at security, check-in and waiting areas.

After their Covid-19 health examination, passengers without any hold luggage will be able to move to the mezzanine floor for security control directly from the entrance of Departure Hall 1.  This eliminates the need for these passengers to proceed through the check-in area.

The mezzanine floor spans over an area of 5,000m² while a new security checkpoint with 21 security lanes has been created.

For contactless baggage check-in, nearly 20 new baggage drop-off points have been deployed in the Departure Hall.

In addition, the airport has established a new connecting walkway between the 21 security lanes in Departure Hall 1 and the 14 security lanes in Departure Hall 2.

This will allow the travellers to move between the halls when they are crowded.

With the commissioning of the new security checkpoint on the mezzanine floor, all transfer and departure entryways at the airport are now installed with CT scans.  As a result, passengers can now leave any liquids or electronics in their hand luggage which will also speed up the process.
