About the aerospace industry in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is an aerospace hub

Boeing, GE Aviation, Embraer, Bell, and Gulfstream Aerospace are among the international giants that have set up operations near Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. It’s from here - one of the world's best-connected airport and Europe’s third largest for both passengers and cargo – that companies can connect their  people, products and parts to all corners of the world.

In addition to Amsterdam’s integrated transport network, its strategically located logistics hubs provide dedicated air freight forwarding and warehouse solutions, with the likes of Kuehne + Nagel, Expeditors, FedEx and Crane Worldwide Logistics meeting growing demand in Amsterdam as a stable gateway to Europe post-Brexit. The Netherlands is also paving way for a more responsible industry. Neste, the world's leading producer of sustainable aviation fuel, has set up at Amsterdam Airport City, helping Schiphol meet its sustainability goals.
