Food delivery at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

Tanja Dik

Director of Consumer Products & Services

“Schiphol is always looking for best ways to serve its passengers, which spend a relatively large amount of time at their gate. There’s a practical side to this initiative: last year over 68 million people from hundreds of countries came through the airport. The fact is that space for retail and F&B outlets in the terminal and piers is limited. That’s why we come up with innovative concepts like this and keep a close eye on trends in technological and digital developments. If we see opportunities, we’ll then implement them in the hope that we can improve the passenger experience even further.”

“We create places To Be. Places where the experience, hospitality and attention to detail is paramount and people feel at ease. Innovative technological developments help us to reach our guests in a busy environment like an airport, and it makes the process of travelling easier and more efficient. With ‘Food Delivery at the Gate’ we have, in cooperation with our business partner Schiphol, a scoop at European Airports. In this way we try to reach more travellers who would like to enjoy their food without a hurry before they board the plane, and pay sincere attention to the digital needs of our guests. Hence creating Places To Be.”
