Royal Schiphol Group president and CEO Jos Nijhuis said: “I am enormously proud of the fact that we have completed this departure hall in little more than six months.

“Day in, day out, we have worked really hard with all our partners to get the hall up and running in time for the coming spring and summer peak.”

“Day in, day out, we have worked really hard with all our partners to get the hall up and running in time for the coming spring and summer peak."

Constructed on the roof of Amsterdam Airport’s South Baggage Hall, the new facility is linked to the existing Departure Hall 1 via a corridor.

Nijhuis added: “Our challenge for the coming years is to keep quality and capacity at the requisite level. This is why we have begun creating extra capacity for the long term, for instance by building a new pier and terminal.”

As planned, the temporary departure hall will remain operational until the end of 2019, after which the facility can be dismantled and re-used.

In addition, the security filters installed at the departure hall can be used at other locations of the airport.
