Amsterdam gets new executive terminal

With Heathrow virtually banning executive jets and the like, Amsterdam Schiphol-East has opened a new 6,000sqm general aviation terminal to cater for the 4,500 private and business flights that the airport handles each year. 

It is a multi-functional building, with both handling areas and offices.

The main users of the terminal are the handling agents KLM, Aviapartner and Jetsupport, while Jet Netherlands, Nayak, Aerdynamics and Solid Air, are already renting 50% of the office space.  Schiphol said that the new facility will replace the current terminal which, after several decades, has become too old to cope with the demand for general aviation operations at the gateway. www.schiphol.com
