The proceeds from port fees went up by 33 percent, according to the figures. Partly because of this, the operational result, corrected for a correction on the valuation of the real estate, has doubled to 278 million euros. Airlines fought the increase in the harbor money on 1 April, but had to bite the dust. According to the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets, the rise in port money of 31 percent was ‘not unreasonable’. In total, sales amounted to 1.2 billion euros, an increase of twenty percent.
However, below the line is a lower result, which is caused by a lower valuation of the real estate of the airport. Where a virtual profit on the real estate of 162 million was made last year, the real estate of the airport was defined by 41 million euros as of 30 June. According to a spokesperson for the airport, a fall in value of 2 percent of the property is due to ‘shifts and revaluation by a new independent appraiser.’ The net result amounted to 162 million euros, compared to 231 million euros last year.

Schiphol himself says that it has become quieter, especially due to the higher rates for noisy aircraft: the number of quieter aircraft rose by 7 percentage points to 30 percent of all devices. This is, among other things, the result of the infasage of Airbus A321 at the KLM group, the largest user of Schiphol. Herriekists also avoid Schiphol more often, such as the Boeing 747. 7 percent less of the largest herriem makers came to the airport.
Night
The airport also made flying at night considerably more expensive. This was against the sore leg of Transavia, which buys quieter planes. That felt ‘punished’ for his investments. “In the first three months after the introduction, the first results are clearly noticeable, airlines use more quieter aircraft more often,” Schiphol reports Friday. The airport wants to invest 10 billion euros over the next ten years.
