Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has expanded its passenger and visitor services with a free Schiphol App as from yesterday. Today already, it appears to be the number 1 in the top 25 of free apps in the App Store. The new application enables iPhone and Android mobile phone users to get detailed travel information, including flight information via ‘push notification’ (flight information and updates relevant to you) and details about airport facilities and activities. Schiphol Smart Parking spaces can be booked very soon as well by using the App. Other SmartPhone users can visit Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’s new mobile website: www.Schiphol.mobi for more information.
In future, passengers will even be able to request customised travel information, including traffic and public transport updates. These applications are already in development and are expected to become available in the first quarter of 2011. From that date the application will also be available in English. The Schiphol App can be downloaded free of charge at popular App stores or at the airport itself using Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’s new free WiFi network.
‘This new passenger and visitor service contributes directly to our ambition of Europe’s preferred airport. Moreover it reaffirms Schiphol’s reputation as an innovative and trendsetting airport, where serving customers is a top priority’, says Consumers business area Director Otto Ambagtsheer.
Schiphol offers this service in collaboration with M2Mobi.
