Schiphol Consolidates Ground Handlers | Amsterdam News

Schiphol Airport is slashing ground handling providers from six to just three—KLM, dnata, and Viggo—for the next seven years, a move mandated by the Dutch government to streamline operations. Following similar consolidations in cleaning and security, the airport aims for tighter control and smoother workflows. Crucially, Schiphol promises no job losses, offering displaced workers from Aviapartner, Swissport, and Menzies positions with the new firms. Labor union FNV sees potential for stability but warns of uncertainty for affected employees. Contracts will finalize by year’s end, with operations launching next spring—while airlines can still use their own staff, they can’t lend them out to competitors.
