Schiphol has a landside vehicle access policy in and around the terminal buildings. For access to the logistics streets (Expeditiestraat, Transportstraat, Laad- & Loskade), the Service Lane (Dienstenbaan) and the Jan Dellaert Square, a security check is required first. As a Known Transporter, you do that yourself. Not a Known Transporter? Then the driver must drive by the RD Passage for a security check in the Remote Security Center first. These pages will tell you what the landside access policy means for transport companies, drivers, Schiphol’s business partners and tenants of Schiphol real estate.
The landside access policy applies to all users who wish to enter the stand-off zone with a vehicle. Users are persons from companies that need access to the locations within the stand-off zone with a vehicle. This can include suppliers, transport companies, contractors or other parties who arrive with a vehicle to deliver, collect or perform a service. This means in concrete terms: the supplier or the transport company itself and not the ‘client’ of that supplier or transport company.
The stand-off zone is a security zone around the terminal buildings where only authorised and checked vehicles with authorised drivers have access. These vehicles can enter the stand-off zone via vehicle passages. Drivers and their vehicles only have access if they have the correct authorisations.
To enter the stand-off zone, the driver and the vehicle must be registered, and the vehicle must be checked prior to each visit. The vehicle security check can be carried out in one of two ways: if the driver is registered as a ‘type: entry-hyperlink id: 48CXElw7WszndUKGlsZadJ’, they carry out the check themselves. If the driver is not registered as a Known Transporter at Schiphol, for every visit to the stand-off zone, they must first report to the type: entry-hyperlink id: 3c0Kw2oawNQWtQzUidthN6. A member of Schiphol’s security staff will then register the driver and register and check the vehicle.
The landside vehicle access policy applies to all users within the stand-off zone of Schiphol. Any exceptions to the policy will receive information about this via their Schiphol account holder.
In the coming years, more measures will be introduced that affectvehicle access to Schiphol’s terminal buildings:
Reducing pressure on logistics streets: In the future, to further reduce the pressure in the logistics streets and at the vehicle passages, Schiphol intends to work with time slots. Users will then be required to book a time window in advance. There are also plans to regulate construction transport to and from Schiphol Center through storage and remote parking. This too should reduce pressure on the logistics streets.
Zero Emission Zone : From 1 January 2026, the logistics streets at the terminal will become part of the zero emission zones. At these locations, only commercial vehicles that emit no harmful emissions will be granted access from 2026. From then on, only electric or hydrogen-fuelled vans and trucks will be permitted. This is part of Schiphol’s ambition to reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality.
