Schiphol Voted Best Airport

Two awards, second time around

Readers of the American magazine 'Executive Travel' have voted Amsterdam Airport Schiphol best international airport. The award looks at services and facilities and innovative solutions that airports and airlines offer their customers.

This is the second time for Schiphol to win the 'Leading Edge Award'. Conrad van Tiggelen and Birgitta Kroon-Fiorita of the Netherlands Board of Tourism and Conventions accepted the award on behalf of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on 5 November in New York.
