Amsterdam Airport Schiphol will introduce a temporary reduction in airport charges of more than 10% for airlines, citing rising fuel costs linked to the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
The discount will apply from April 27, 2026 through March 31, 2027 and will be limited to daytime flights, with night operations excluded from the scheme.
Schiphol said the measure is intended to help airlines manage a sharp and unexpected increase in operating costs driven by higher kerosene prices. The airport added that maintaining connectivity was a priority,
particularly in the current environment, to ensure essential passenger and cargo flights continue to operate.
The airport operator said the move is designed as a targeted and temporary intervention and acknowledged it would have a negative impact on its financial results during the period. However, Schiphol said the discount would not affect its long-term investment plans, which span the next decade.
Night flights have been excluded from the discount as part of efforts to continue discouraging overnight operations for environmental reasons.
Schiphol said it remains in a financially robust position and will continue to balance operating costs, charges and investment requirements while supporting airlines through the current period of elevated costs.
