Landing and take-off

Section 1

For aircraft landing at and taking off from the airport, a landing and take off charge is
payable to the Company, the amount of which is determined by the following factors:
I the aircrafts weight (to be hereinafter referred to as the charge according to weight)
II the noise certification of the aircraft (to be hereinafter referred to as the charge
according to noise)
III the point in time of arrival at and departure from the airport (to be hereinafter referred
to as the charge according to point in time)

Section 2

To calculate the charge as referred to in Section 1, Sub I, II, and III of this article, a
distinction is made between point to point flights, cargo flights and local and instruction
flights.

Section 3

To calculate the charge as referred to in Section 1, Sub I, II, III of this article a distinction is
made between connected and disconnected handling.

Article 3

Landing and take-off charges

Section 1

The basic compensation is applicable for a landing or a take-off by an aircraft defined in

noise category B (see Article 4) between 6:00am and 11:00pm local time. This basic
compensation serves as a starting point for determining the charge according to noise and
point in time, as described in Section 2 of this article.
In the event of a point-to-point flight with connected handling the basic compensation for
a landing or take-off is calculated according to aircraft weight:
a. for aircraft not weighing more than 20,000 kg MTOW, the charge is 95.20
b. for aircraft weighing more than 20,000 kg, the charge is 4.76 per 1,000 kg (or part
thereof)
In the event of a point-to-point flight with disconnected handling the basic compensation
for a landing or take-off is calculated according to aircraft weight:
a. for aircraft not weighing more than 20,000 kg MTOW, the charge is 76.20

b. for aircraft weighing more than 20,000 kg, the charge is 3.81 per 1,000 kg (or part
thereof)
In the event of a cargo flight the basic compensation for a landing or take-off is calculated
according to the aircraft weight:
a. for aircraft not weighing more than 20,000 kg MTOW, the charge is 49.60
b. for aircraft weighing more than 20,000 kg, the charge is 2.48 per 1,000 kg (or part
thereof)
In the event of a local or instruction flight with connected handling the basic compensation
for a landing or take-off is calculated according to the aircraft weight:
a. for aircraft not weighing more than 20,000 kg MTOW, the charge is 57.20
b. for aircraft weighing more than 20,000 kg, the charge is 2.86 per 1,000 kg (or part
thereof)
In the event of a local or instruction flight with disconnected handling the basic
compensation for a landing or take-off is calculated according to the aircraft weight:
a. for aircraft not weighing more than 20,000 kg MTOW, the charge is 45.60
b. for aircraft weighing more than 20,000 kg, the charge is 2.28 per 1,000 kg (or part
thereof)
Section 2

Over and above the basic compensation, there are surcharges or discounts, which apply
according to noise and point in time. These are outlined as follows:
I Charges according to noise (see Article 4):
- noise category MCC3 (Marginally Compliant Chapter 3): basic compensation
increased by 60% for each landing or take-off
- noise category A: basic compensation increased by 40% for each landing or take-off
- noise category B: basic compensation applies for each landing or take-off
- noise category C: basic compensation reduced by 20% for each landing or take-off
II Charges according to point in time:
For take-offs between 11:00pm and 6:00am local time all charges as mentioned above will
be increased by 50%. For landings between 11:00pm and 6:00am local time all charges as
mentioned above will be increased by 27%.
For landings and take-offs between 11:00pm and 6:00am local time with aircraft in category
MCC3, all charges as mentioned above (in section 2, I and II) will be increased by an extra
50%.
Al the amounts are rounded off to cents. See attachment I for an overview of the charges.

Article 4

Noise categories

Section 1

The charge applicable according to the amount of noise generated, is related to the extent
to which individual aircraft engage available capacity within Schiphol's noise contours. The
basis is the noise production in EPNdB values per aircraft, according to the certification as
acknowledged and accepted by ICAO. The EPNdB must be defined within the Chapter 3
certified aircraft category. The EPNdB is calculated by subtracting the sum of the three
Chapter 3 limit values (in accordance with ICAO document ANNEX 16, Volume 1) by the sum
of the three EPNdB noise certification values. The following noise categories have been
defined:
-

noise category MCC3:

noise category A:
noise category B:
noise category C:

0 EPNdB > -5
-5 EPNdB > -9
-9 EPNdB > -18
EPNdB -18

(Marginally Compliant Chapter 3)

(relatively noisy aircraft);
(average noise producing aircraft);
(relatively-low-noise aircraft).

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol establishes the noise categories, in accordance with article 17.
Section 2

For aircraft, which are not Chapter 3 certified, the following is applicable:
- Chapter 2 aircraft:
noise category MCC3
- all helicopters
noise category B
- all aircraft < 6 tonnes MTOW and

all (turbo)prop aircraft 9 tonnes MTOW.

noise category C

For the surcharge regulation regarding Chapter 2 aircraft see Article 15.
Section 3

If the noise certification values of an aircraft are not available for Amsterdam Airport
Schiphol the charges according to noise will be based on the most unfavourable
configuration of that aircraft type (see Attachment II for an overview per aircraft type).

Article 5

Passengers

Section 1

In the event of passenger transportation, passenger related charges are payable, namely
the Passenger Service Charge and the Security Service Charge, the amount of which is
determined by the number of passengers on board the aircraft upon departure from the
airport (to be hereinafter referred to as the charges for passengers).

Section 2

To calculate the charges as referred to in Section 1 a distinction is made between departing

local passengers and departing transfer passengers.

Section 3

The charges for passengers as referred to in Section 1 are not payable for:
a. transit passengers;
b. passengers under two years of age;
c. passengers on state aircraft.

Section 4

The charges for passengers are payable by the owner of the aircraft.

Section 5

To calculate the charges for passengers, the owner of the aircraft, or the person acting on
his/her behalf, should provide the Company with a written statement for each flight,
showing the number of passengers on board the aircraft upon departure. This statement
should be submitted in a manner that is verifiable by the Company. The number of transfer
passengers and the number of passengers as referred to in Section 3, subdivided into
categories a and b are required to be stated. In case of non compliance, calculation of the
charge will be made in accordance with seating capacity of the relevant aircraft type on an
all economy basis.

Article 6

The charges for passengers as referred to in Article 5, Section 1, are as follows:

a.
the Passenger Service Charge: 14.52 per departing local passenger and 6.10 per
departing transfer passenger
b.
the Security Service Charge: 12.68 per departing local passenger and 7.10 per departing
transfer passenger

Article 7

Unforeseen circumstances

Section 1

If, after having taken off from the airport, an aircraft returns without having landed at
another airport - due to bad weather conditions, engine trouble, or any other unforeseen
causes - the charges listed in Article 2 and Article 5 will not be levied.

Section 2

Furthermore, Schiphol Airport has the discretion to waive the charges as listed in Article 2
and Article 5 in case of, in its opinion, other unforeseen circumstances than mentioned in
section 1 of this article.

Article 8

Aircraft parking

For parking an aircraft in designated general use areas of the airport, a parking charge per 24 hour
period or part thereof will be due in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 9.

Article 9

Aircraft parking charges

Section 1

Except for the provisions laid down in Section 2, a parking fee of 1.67 per 1,000 kilograms
of weight (MTOW) is payable for parking each 24 hours or part thereof.

Section 2

No charge is due if parking takes place for a period of less than six hours and fifteen
minutes. A parking period is defined as the total time the aircraft stays at the airport, less
the period of time the aircraft is positioned at an aircraft stand not controlled by the
Company, minus six hours and fifteen minutes.

Article 10

Service

The rates listed in Articles 3, 6, and 9 do not include the costs for any assistance rendered during the
parking procedure (including anchorage) or during departure of the aircraft. The way in which the
service referred to above is provided will be determined by the Company as will the fees payable for
these services.

Article 11

Payment obligations

Section 1

The owner of the aircraft, the holder and the user thereof, and the person acting as an
authorised representative of the owner, the holder or user thereof, are responsible for

Section 3

Any other disputes will be submitted only to the judgement of the authorised Court in the
District of Haarlem, the Netherlands.

Article 13

Provision of fleet and loading data

Section 1
Provision of Aircraft Fleet Data
The natural or legal person owning or holding a civil aviation aircraft and having disposal thereof for the
purpose of participating in air traffic, under own responsibility, owner, is required to provide a full
statement of the aircraft, containing the following specifications:
1.
Manufacturer, type and model
2.
Serial number of the aircraft
3.
Nationality and registration marks (aircraft registration)
4.
MTOW (in kilos)
5.
Configuration
6.
Noise certification values (EPNdB Fly-over, Lateral, Approach)
7.
Motortype
Also, a statement of the aircraft which should be regarded as state aircraft should be provided. This
statement has to be provided to the Airport Administration prior to the (first) flight with the specific
aircraft. Only aircraft owned by the state qualify as state aircraft. Furthermore, the natural or legal

person owning or holding the aircraft should state in writing that the aircraft is only used as a state
aircraft.
Validity
To demonstrate the validity of the MTOW and the noise certification values, copies of the relevant pages
from the approved Airplane Flight Manual should accompany this specification. From the approved
Airplane Flight Manual both the pages with limitations showing the MTOW (Limitations) and the section
describing the aircraft and the engines installed and noise certification values (Appendices and
supplements external noise), as well as the page with the list of valid pages (List of Valid Pages) with
date and serial number(s), have to be provided. To demonstrate the validity of the noise certification
values a copy of the official noise certificate can be provided as well.
In addition, the owner is required to report all changes occurring in its fleet and/or changes in an
aircrafts/motor type configuration immediately and is required to present the copies of the approved
Airplane Flight Manual and/or official noise certificate as described above.
Conservative Values
Should the MTOW data of an aircraft that has landed at the airport not be available, the highest weight
of the aircraft type concerned will be charged. If noise certification values are not available, the noise
category will be based on the most unfavourable configuration of the aircraft type concerned (see
conservative classification of noise categories in Attachment II). If the MTOW is not certified, the charge
will be based on the Maximum Design Taxi Weight, or the Maximum Flight Weight with Flaps in Take
off Position. In the event of non compliance with the above conditions, credit invoices of differences
arising from the application of the conservative values cannot be made.
Section 2

Provision of Loading Data

Data to be provided
For each calendar day the airline company is required to provide a specification of all aircraft departing
from and arriving at the airport on that day and to provide the number of passengers and loading on
board of these aircraft. Loading relates to baggage, cargo and mail. Even in the event a handling agent
provides the load data, the airline will continue to be responsible for correct, complete and timely supply
of the data. The provision of data is required for all flights operating at the airport, also if there are no
passengers and/or cargo on board.
How to provide loading data
The information is required to be provided electronically. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) in flight
reporting should be used.

Flight reporting refers to up-to-date reports of the loading of the arriving or departing aircraft
at Schiphol via SITA by means of Load Messages (LDM) and Passenger Transfer Messages (PTM).
In the event an airline company does not have a link to EDI in flightreporting, the information can be
provided electronically in an Excel file. This file should be provided in a specific format, so that the
information is suitable for automatic processing in CISS (Central Information System Schiphol). This Excel
format can be obtained from the Airport Administration. The loading data should be provided via EDI of
by email to the Airport Administration every day before 9.30am local time
([email protected]; SITA: SPLLA7X).
Inspection
The passenger data should be based on the flight coupons and/or should no physical flight coupons have
been handed out to (some of) the passengers, on an 'ITKT' or comparable list for e-tickets.
The Company reserves the right to inspect the flight coupons and/or e-ticket list in order to verify the
completed forms. Consequently these coupons and/or e-ticket list should be available at the office of the
airline or handling company at Schiphol Centrum for at least 24 hours after departure of the aircraft. In
the event of an inspection, a 'load sheet' or comparable document, on which total passenger numbers
are mentioned, must be available together with an 'inbound' list or transfer passenger list, on which the
origin and ultimate destination of transfer passengers are stated. Alternatively, the total number of
passengers and the transfer passenger list may also be shown in the automated system of the airline. In
addition a list with ticket codes used by the Airline Company is required to be available.
Should the need arise, in consultation with the airline any discrepancies noted may be debited or
credited for a period of maximum 12 months prior to the date on which the discrepancy was established.
Any claims emanating from the discrepancies established between the load data provided and the
invoicing thereof must be submitted to Schiphol Group in writing together with the onus of proof.
Schiphol reserves the right to require an audit certificate in case structural discrepancies are found when
the load data which is provided is inspected. For the sake of clarity, please note that 'If-Seats-AvailablePassengers' and travel agents are not exempt from paying the passenger-related charges.

Article 14

Obligations

All charges referred to in article 2, 5, 8 and 10 should be paid in full to the Apron Office of the Company
with a credit card prior to departure of the aircraft.
The Company and the airline can agree on an alternative way of payment, like weekly pre-payments or a
weekly invoice with complementary guarantees in the form of a bank guarantee or deposit, for the
services provided by the Company to the airline.
The Company has the discretion to allow a certain credit limit to an airline, in a manner to be chosen by
the Company. In determining the credit limit, the company takes the credit worthiness and payment
behaviour of the airline into account. The maximum payment term is within three weeks from the date
on the invoice. When this term is exceeded, an interest charge of 1% on a monthly basis applies to the
amount of the invoice.
The Company can terminate a payment agreement unilaterally and restrict the credit limit when the
payment behaviour or credit worthiness of the airline gives reason to do so.
Claims
Claims on invoices should always be received within three weeks after the date of the invoice. Any
change in the invoice amount or postponement of payment is not permitted, nor is it permitted to
return the invoice without preliminary consultation.
Aircraft Leased Out
In case of an aircraft being leased out for a period exceeding six months, it is possible to send the invoice
to the lessee concerned on request of the owner/lessor. In order to receive the invoice, the lessee should
write in advance. Until then however, the owner/lessor is fully liable for all sums payable.
In the event the lessee of an aircraft would like to stand surety for one or more flights, the completed
form Guarantee per flight should be submitted to the Account Management department. This form is
available at the Account Management department.
Unforeseen Circumstances
In the event a flight as defined in Article 7 is levied, the relevant airline can request exemption of
payment in writing at the Account Management department within three weeks after date of invoice.

Article 15

Surcharge Regulation Concerning the Use of Chapter 2 Aircraft

Total Ban
As of 1 April 2002 a total ban on Chapter 2 operations is in force at Schiphol Airport. This ban is based on
European legislation.
Surcharge
If, in spite of the above ban, Chapter 2 aircraft land at Schiphol Airport an additional surcharge on the
landing charges will apply.
The basis for calculating the surcharge is as follows:
up to 100 tonnes MTOW 1,837.80 per landing
from 100 tonnes MTOW 2,756.70 per landing
Chapter 2 Aircraft
A Chapter 2 aircraft is defined as a civil subsonic aircraft, noise certified on the grounds of the standards
as referred to in Annex 16, volume 1, Chapter 2, to the ICAO convention (third edition, 1993). On first
request, the owner/operator of an aircraft should provide a copy of the noise certificate of the aircraft
operated at Schiphol Airport.

Article 16

Turnover Tax

Under Dutch Tax Legislation (Turnover Tax Act 1968), turnover tax is levied on all rates and amounts
stated, with the exception of governmental levies as mentioned in these explanatory notes. The current
turnover tax rate is levied on the landing and take-off charges, parking charges, Passenger Service
Charge and Security Service Charge.

10

Zero Rate
However if landing and take-off charges, parking charges, the Passenger Service Charge and the Security
Service Charge are charged to the airlines mentioned in 'J.P. Airlinefleets International' (annual edition
of Buchner & Co in Zurich), the zero rate of turnover tax will apply to these airlines. However, if an
airline does not operate (a part of) its aircraft fleet as public transport in international air traffic, the
current turnover tax rate will apply for those aircraft.

Article 17

Notice charges and conditions

Section 1

The airport gives notice of the charges and conditions before the time period to which the
charges and conditions relate. Further rules are laid down, by or pursuant to a general
administrative order, regarding the manner in which and date on which notice is to be
given. (AAS Operation Decree, article 3 and 4)

Section 2

The notice of the charges and conditions will be made by making the charges and
conditions available for inspection, in any case at the offices of the airport operator at the
airport, by announcing the determination of the charges and conditions in at least one
daily, weekly or national newspaper or in any other appropriate manner, so that the users
will be reached in the best possible way, and by sending the charges and conditions to users
on request at the addresses given by them.

Article 18

Compliance with charges and conditions

Costs incurred because of non compliance with any condition mentioned may be charged to the owner.

Article 19

Incentives

There are three incentive programmes applicable at Schiphol airport: the Airline Reward Programme
for passenger airlines, the Freighter Reward Programme and the Cargo Sustainability Incentive

Cargo Sustainability Incentive Programme

Together with the Dutch Government, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has committed to implement an
active policy stimulating the use of more silent aircraft as well as a preference for day time operations
(between 06.00 and 23.00 hours).
As part of this policy, Schiphol wants to stimulate airlines to renew their fleet deployed at Schiphol. For
this reason, an incentive programme is introduced to reward airlines in case MCC3 aircraft are
substituted by more modern, quieter aircraft. Through this programme, airlines are financially rewarded
for replacing their MCC3 full freighter flights at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
Reward
Every airline substituting its scheduled full freighter flights with Marginally Compliant Chapter 3
aircraft by flights with category B or C wide body full freighter aircraft will be eligible for a
reward of 400 per departure for the replaced flights. This reward will be given for the first
year of operation with the new aircraft.

Levies and taxes at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

On the next pages, an explanation is given on the levies and taxes, not being airport charges and
conditions, which apply at Schiphol Airport and which are invoiced and collected by Schiphol airport. It
concerns the levies and taxes which are imposed by the government or which are set in cooperation with
the airlines.

Levies and taxes at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol......................................................................... 23

PRM Levy .......................................................................................................................................... 24
Governmental Levies ...................................................................................................................... 25
General Information ....................................................................................................................... 26

PRM Levy
As of July 2008, the EU Regulation 1107/2006 concerning the rights of disabled persons and persons with
reduced mobility when travelling by air is effective. Specified in this regulation are not only the rights of
these persons, but also the extent of assistance required in order to offer them opportunities in air travel
which are equal to all other citizens. The managing body of the airport has the overall responsibility to
ensure that the provision of this assistance is met.
Together with the major airlines operating at Schiphol airport, the Schiphol Airline Operators Committee
(SAOC) and the CG Raad (Board of chronic invalids and disabled persons) a PRM Committee was
established in 2006. This Committee has decided to outsource the assistance of disabled persons and
persons with reduced mobility (PRM).
The EU regulation states that in the interest of social inclusion, persons concerned should receive
assistance without additional charge. The assistance should be financed in such a way as to spread the
burden equitably among all passengers using the airport. The managing body of the airport may, on a
non-discriminatory basis, levy a specific charge on airport users for the purpose of funding this assistance.
For this reason, Schiphol will introduce a PRM levy which will be charged to all airlines operating at
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The levy is cost-related and includes the costs of outsourcing and the
overhead costs made by the airport. In cooperation with the airlines represented in the PRM Committee,
the PRM levy was established at 0,37 per departing passenger effective as of 1 April 2011.
Airlines operating at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol will be charged based on the number of passengers
they transport from the airport. The levy has to be paid for all departing passengers, both local boarding
passengers and transfer passengers. Only transit passengers and infants (< 2 years) are excluded.
Definitions of passenger types are in accordance with the definitions as stated in the article 1 of the
document Schiphol Airport Charges & Conditions.
The PRM levy will be recalculated every year. Differences in costs for PRM handling, which will primarily
follow from differences between the expected and actual number of PRMs, will be settled in the levy for
the following year.
For the payment of the PRM levy, the (payment) obligations as described in Article 13 and Article 16 of
the document Schiphol Airport Charges & Conditions apply accordingly.

24

Governmental Levies
The governmental levies at Schiphol Airport which are invoiced by Schiphol Airport, consist of:
1.
the Governmental Noise/Insulation levy
2.
the Governmental Planning Compensation levy
For information on these levies, please feel free to contact the authorities and ministries. For questions
regarding invoicing of the Governmental Noise/Insulation levy and the Governmental Planning
Compensation levy, please contact the Airport Administration.

1. Governmental Noise/Insulation Levy

The determination of the noise levy is in accordance with the Order, Civil Aircraft Noise Disturbance Levy
(Heffingenbesluit Geluidshinder Burgerluchtvaartuigen) of October 8, 1982, no. 584.article 77 of the
Aviation Act. The levy will be collected by a designated NVLS official. Collection of the noise levy takes
place on behalf of the Ministry of Transport Order of December 27, 1982, no. LV/L 26486, by Amsterdam
Airport Schiphol and is in accordance with the collection of the airport charges.
The F-factor, which is part of the calculation of the noise levy calculation, is set at 75.25 as of 1 January
2011. As of 1 January 2012, the F-factor amounts to 77.50. Please note that, in order to calculate the
noise levy and for invoicing purposes (see article 13 on provision of aircraft fleet data), the noise
certification values are required by Schiphol Airport. In the event the noise certification values are not
provided, the noise levy will be based on the conservative classification of noise categories, which is
available at the Airport Administration. The Governmental Noise/Insulation levy is charged per landing.
If you want to appeal to the decision based on article 77a, section 3, of the Luchtvaartwet (Aviation
Act), you can appeal, based on article 22j of the Algemene wet inzake rijksbelastingen (law regarding
national tax), in writing within 6 weeks after the date of the invoice or after the payment, withholding
or settlement. The appeal can be addressed to the Inspection Verkeer en Waterstaat, Toezicht Beheer
Eenheid, Unit Juridische Zaken, Postbus 10700, 2501 HS Den Haag (=The Transport and Water
Management Inspectorate).

2. Governmental Planning Compensation levy

The Governmental Planning Compensation levy amounts to 0.50 per metric ton of the Maximum Take
Off Weight (MTOW). This levy is necessary to refund the expenditures prefinanced by the government
for claims, the demolition of buildings and the relocation of houseboats in the surroundings of
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The Governmental Planning Compensation levy is charged per landing.
