Amsterdam Schiphol Airport Handles Millions of Passengers in September 2025 as Tourism and  European Travel Expand: What You Need to Know

 Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) recorded 6.1 million passengers in September 2025, marking a one percent increase compared to the same month in 2024, according to the official monthly traffic report from Royal Schiphol Group. The figures highlight stable recovery momentum across the European aviation sector, with Amsterdam consolidating its role as one of the continent’s most connected air travel hubs.​

Of the total passengers handled, 3.9 million travelers either began or ended their journeys at Schiphol, while another 2.2 million passengers connected through the airport to onward destinations. These numbers reflect Schiphol’s continued strength as a global transfer hub, supported by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and SkyTeam partner network operations.

In terms of destination preferences, Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, and the United States ranked as the most traveled routes for September. Domestic European traffic accounted for 4.4 million passengers, while 1.7 million passengers flew to or from intercontinental destinations, underscoring Europe’s ongoing dominance in Schiphol’s overall traffic mix.

The consistent growth stems from a rebound in leisure and business demand, particularly across Southern Europe and North America, where travel appetite remains strong heading into the fall season. The Netherlands continues to see steady inbound tourism, helped by its cultural and business appeal, as well as its robust network of connections across two hundred ninety nine destinations, including one hundred twenty three  intercontinental routes.​

During September, Amsterdam Schiphol recorded 41,374 flight movements, representing a one percent decrease compared to the same month last year. Of those, 33,727 flights served European destinations, while 7,647 operated on intercontinental routes. Despite the marginal dip in flight operations, efficiency and aircraft occupancy remained strong, driven by improved seat utilization and optimized route planning.

Cargo throughput, however, reflected global freight challenges, with Schiphol processing 118,685 tonnes of goods, a decline from 129,351 tonnes in September 2024. Approximately forty four percent of cargo was carried in the holds of passenger aircraft, while fifty-six percent  was transported aboard full freighters. The number of all-cargo operations fell nearly ten percent  year-on-year, registering 1,257 flights compared to 1,391 a year earlier.

Royal Schiphol Group attributed the decline to slower international trade flows and increased competition from regional hubs in Asia and the Middle East. Despite the downturn, the airport continues to rank among Europe’s top five cargo gateways, driven by high-value goods, perishables, and pharmaceuticals.​

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, one of Europe’s busiest and most efficient aviation centers, continues to showcase long-term resilience and operational adaptability. Its multi‑modal connectivity, linking aviation with rail and road infrastructure, ensures continued competitiveness even amid capacity restrictions and environmental policies.

The airport’s passenger performance builds on strong summer results that saw over 6.6 million travelers in July 2025 and six  million in June, demonstrating consistent demand across major hubs like Madrid, Rome, and London. This sustained throughput solidifies Schiphol’s role as a driving engine for regional tourism and business travel, supporting tens of thousands of jobs and contributing significantly to the Dutch economy.​

Schiphol’s growth comes amid its commitment to sustainability and emissions reduction. The Royal Schiphol Group continues implementing its Smart and Sustainable Plan, targeting net‑zero airport operations by 2030. Key initiatives include:

Although the Dutch government maintains flight‑movement caps to limit environmental impacts, Schiphol’s ongoing investments in green infrastructure and operational efficiencies support its position as a global model for sustainable airport management.​

Air travel remains central to tourism in the Netherlands, with Amsterdam serving as the country’s primary gateway. September’s figures underline how steady inbound traffic contributes directly to the hospitality, culture, and retail industries. Visitors arriving through Schiphol often extend their stays to explore Dutch icons, from Amsterdam’s canals and museums to day‑trips in Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht.

Tour operators note that improved seat capacity and route availability from European hotspots like Barcelona, London, and Athens have made short‑term travel to the Netherlands easier and more affordable. Meanwhile, increased frequencies to New York, Chicago, and Boston continue to drive transatlantic tourism and facilitate business connectivity.

As demand stabilizes, Schiphol’s recovery reinforces its strategic alignment with the Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions (NBTC) objectives of promoting sustainable, value‑driven travel that enhances local economies while distributing visitor flow across the country.

Industry analysts forecast passenger numbers will remain high through the winter travel period, buoyed by holiday vacations and corporate travel demand. Airport data shows solid bookings through Q4 2025, with sustained traffic from leisure travelers connecting to ski regions, Middle East sun destinations, and US gateways.

Royal Schiphol Group continues to balance its passenger recovery goals with its environmental commitments, managing traffic volume under national limits while preparing for long‑term modernization projects. The airport’s ongoing digital transformation, covering biometric check‑ins, predictive data systems, and terminal upgrades, aims to further streamline passenger experiences.

With its consistent performance, Amsterdam Schiphol Airport remains an essential pillar of Dutch economic growth, contributing billions of euros annually through passenger spending, international trade, and employment. The combination of advanced technology, a central European location, and a vast network of destinations reinforces Schiphol’s reputation as an aviation and tourism powerhouse.

Despite challenges in cargo logistics and environmental constraints, Schiphol’s September 2025 passenger numbers confirm that the airport is entering a balanced phase of recovery, reshaping air connectivity for travelers and helping sustain the Netherlands’ enduring appeal as a key European destination.​
