Regional airports


In addition to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Schiphol Group operates a number of regional airports in the Netherlands.


Schiphol Group owns and operates Rotterdam Airport and Lelystad Airport and has a 51% share in Eindhoven Airport. Operating these regional airports is in line with Schiphol Group's policy.
