New FBO at Amsterdam Schiphol (EHAM)

Until recently, if you flew a private aircraft into Amsterdam Schiphol the only FBO there was KLM Jet Centre. They weren’t particularly cheap and compared with their snappy sister FBO in Rotterdam, it all seemed a bit too laid back and unwelcoming.

Now, Aviapartner has opened a new FBO at Schiphol and you have a choice. The prices doesn’t seem to be much different. They charge about 400 euros for a Cirrus SR22, including airport fees but they can cope with aircraft up to an A380, so perhaps a Cirrus suffers from being on the first rung of a very tall ladder.

The place seems less like a scaled-down passenger terminal and more like a VIP lounge, which gives a more luxurious experience, I think, especially for passengers. I hope to visit in person later this year and then I can give a more complete report.
