Schiphol and KLM are testing Auto-DollyTug. This vehicle will separate the baggage of passengers with long transfer times from those with short transfer times.

Various sector partners at Schiphol are committed to reduce aircraft APU usage at Schiphol. To achieve this we are trying different things.

Can you board and cross the border faster with a digital travel document? At the request of the EU, we are testing a DTC together with the government and KLM.

We are working diligently to reduce the amount of ultrafine particles. A possibility is the use of water droplets to remove ultrafine particles from the air.

Our ambition: operating the world's most sustainable and top-tier airports by 2050. With this in mind we're putting autonomous buses to the test on airside.

In 2019 we carried out a pilot to inform travellers of the ideal time to arrive at the airport so that they can go through security as quickly as possible.

A solution we can use to implement data-driven monitoring of the aircraft stands’ performance. That is what lead to the initiative ‘Smart VOP 1.0’

Our Main Contractors can develop an on-demand cleaning schedule based on real-time data thanks to the 600,000 monthly votes from the FeedbackNow voting points.

OPS innovators Dirk Bresser and Simon Prent explain how sustainable taxiing works and talk about the arrival of the Taxibot.

Our aim is to become the world’s most sustainable and high-quality airport. How? For Hassan Charaf, Head of Innovation, the answer is clear: innovation is key.

A pilot project was initiated during the Christmas period to prevent long queues at busy times – and it was a success!

We have devoted much of our working lives to making aviation more sustainable. Sustainable taxiing has a major role to play.

In the summer of 2019, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol conducted a successful security pilot with travellers flying from Departure Hall 2.

A pilot was done to investigate what Schiphol could do to improve passengers’ hygiene experience, giving them the impression that they were ‘outsmarting germs’

To create a more passenger-friendly experience until the upgrade of toilet groups with a low score has been completed, the PX Team launched a new initiative.

A lot of people shared their thoughts about our sustainable taxiing test. Read our blog to find out more about what sustainable taxiing means for us.

The students from Made by 020 advised Schiphol on sustainable passenger experience. One of the student concepts was “Take a ride on the green side”.

In this blog we will consider how we could implement sustainable taxiing in practice. It is more complicated than it may seem at first sight.

The purpose of this blog is to give you an insight into our vision for the future: a Smart Schiphol Airport City full of Smart Buildings.

In this blog we're introducing a third dimension to taxiing: the control system. Making sustainable taxiing an even more appealing prospect.

Wilbur developer Bas Kiers tells us about the digital developments in the Schiphol control centre.

Schiphol aims to operate the most sustainable airports in the world by 2050. In order to achieve this we have launched Autonomous Airside Operations

A study with local residents found that there is significant demand for air traffic forecasts. That's why Schiphol is currently developing the Notifly app.

The first step towards an interconnected fleet of self-driving (autonomous), emission-free vehicles on airside

We carried out a Taxibot trial at Schiphol between March and August 2020. In this blog we tell you how that went and what we learned from it.

Thanks to the taxibot trial we know the prerequisites for sustainable taxiing. But more research was needed into the scalability of the concept.

In this blog we will talk in more detail about A-SMGCS, which is an important prerequisite for the introduction of sustainable taxiing at major airports.
