British business travellers have voted Amsterdam Airport Schiphol as the winner of the Business Traveller Award in the category 'Best Airport in Europe 2010'. Coen Reinders, a member of Schiphol Group's Management Team, received the prestigious accolade during the Business Traveller Awards ceremony held in London on Monday afternoon this week. The other nominees in the 'Best Airport in Europe' category were London Heathrow Airport, Munich Airport and Zurich Airport.

Great Britain is Schiphol's most important market following its home market the Netherlands. In the first six months of 2010 alone, over 3.1 million passengers from Great Britain travelled via Schiphol. "We are extremely proud that British business travellers have honoured us with this prestigious award for the 21st time. In the light of our ambition of becoming Europe's preferred airport, we aim to continuously optimise the travel process and introduce innovative applications. In August we opened the redesigned Holland Boulevard, which offers passengers a pleasurable stay, enables them to become re-energised as well as enjoy Dutch art, culture and literature. Passengers can read a book and listen to music in the Airport Library, the world's first library at an airport," said Reinders.

During the coming winter schedule running from 31 October 2010 - 26 March 2011 seven airlines will operate flights between Great Britain and Schiphol. The airlines are KLM, British Airways, BMI Baby, Cityjet, easyJet, Flybe and Jet2.com. Flights services are operated several times a day to all 18 destinations in total, offering passengers a choice of over one hundred daily flights to Great Britain.
