Amsterdam Schiphol Airport recently opened 5000 square metres of new space in its Lounge 1, which is aimed at intra-European passengers.
This renovation is part of a larger modernization of a total of 24.000 square meters, which will enable better passenger guidance and expanded capacity. The lounge will now gradually be expanded to include new dining and shopping options, with a total of 23 additional offers to be added. In addition, Schiphol has also taken sustainable design into account: materials such as bamboo and recycled wall panels have been used to reduce the ecological footprint. By 2030, the airport aims to become a completely waste-free operation.
The major project is a stage in a long-term investment plan for which the airport is investing six billion euros to improve infrastructure, service and working conditions. The construction work, some of which will be carried out at night, is organized in such a way that the lounge remains open during the work and passengers are only minimally affected. This construction work also includes the planned renovation of lounges 2 and the departure gates in the coming years.
