Frequently asked questions about running a business at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (shops, catering establishments and other services)

  1. I want to rent retail or office space in the terminal building (before or after passport control)
    Unfortunately there is currently no (commercial) space available in the terminal building. This situation could change in the future. You are welcome to send a description of your ideas and possibly a business case, photographs and details of comparable initiatives at other locations to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, afdeling New Business Development, Locatiecode 04.35, Postbus 7501 ZG Schiphol, The Netherlands. Telephone: +31(0)20-6018722. You can also e-mail us at newbusiness@schiphol.nl. Your plans will be studied once we receive them. We will then contact you in the event that space becomes available and your plans are suited to the location concerned, the requirements of our passengers and the strategy of Amsterdam Airport.

  4. How much is the rental on space for shops or catering establishments at Schiphol?
    Unfortunately there is no simple answer to this question. In most cases, a retailer or catering establishment operator will pay a fixed rental amount and a sales-related fee (concession fee).

  5. I have an idea, but before I present it I want Schiphol to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Is this possible?
    Please be assured that any information that you submit to us will be treated as confidential. Due to the huge quantity of requests and ideas we receive, it is unfeasible for us to sign an NDA for each one.
