Frequently Asked Questions
The BLAK team answers the most common questions and covers the essentials for those thinking about flying to and from Amsterdam.
What is the closest airport for private jet flights to Amsterdam?
The primary airport serving Amsterdam is Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM / AMS), located approximately 15 kilometres southwest of the city centre. Schiphol is the largest airport in the Netherlands and one of Europe’s major aviation hubs. For private jet travellers, it provides efficient access to central Amsterdam, with transfer times to the Canal Ring typically around 20 to 25 minutes by car.

Are airport slots required for private jets at Schiphol?
Yes. Schiphol operates as a coordinated international airport, which means arrival and departure slots are required for all aircraft movements. Due to high airline traffic volumes, private jet operators typically arrange slots in advance to ensure preferred arrival times.

Does Schiphol have dedicated private jet facilities?
Yes. Private aviation passengers typically use dedicated handling facilities separate from the main airline terminals. These facilities allow for discreet arrivals, streamlined customs and immigration procedures and direct access to ground transport.

Why would a private jet operator choose Lelystad Airport instead of Schiphol?
Lelystad Airport experiences far less commercial airline traffic than Schiphol. This can make it easier to arrange arrival times, aircraft parking and quick turnarounds. While the airport is further from Amsterdam, it can provide operational advantages for certain private aviation missions.
