Schiphol International B.V. and Aruba Airport Authority N.V. have revised and extended their cooperation agreement concerning the development of Aruba's airport.
In an announcement on 25th January, the Schiphol Group revealed that the agreement
has been extended for at least five years, to the end of 2012.
The agreement was signed on 23rd January by Jacques Greitemann, Managing Director
of Schiphol International and Frendsel Giel, Chairman of the Supervisory Board
of Aruba Airport Authority N.V. (AAA). Present at the signing was the Minister
of Tourism and Transport, Edison Briesen.
The new contract strengthens the ties between the two parties. Both parties
will now be looking into the possibility of forming a more structural relationship.
The positive changes made at AAA since the start of the partnership in 2004
are expected to continue, enabling Aeropuerto Internacional Reina Beatrix to
continue to count itself among the region's best airports.
Welcoming the agreement, Managing Director Jacques Greitemann of Schiphol International
commented: "We are now entering the next phase, in which the development
of activities in and around Aeropuerto Internacional Reina Beatrix will continue.
When the partnership started in 2004 the airport was still making a loss structurally.
Thanks to the joint approach, the number of passengers has increased considerably
through the years and the airport's operations and commercial opportunities
have continued to improve. The airport is an important engine of the Aruban
economy."
In 2007, approximately 1.8 million passengers travelled through Aruba Airport; 116,000
of them flew to or from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. At present there are eight
flights a week between Schiphol and Aruba. They are operated by KLM, Martinair
and ArkeFly.
