Why Dutch airport advertising prices vary
The airport and terminal
Each terminal at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol differs in passenger volume, airline mix and advertising inventory, so a site is worth what it does for your audience and objective, not just the passenger count.
The zone and share of display
In the Netherlands, departures, gates, arrivals and baggage claim reach passengers at different moments, and a dedicated site is priced differently from a digital loop shared with other advertisers.
The campaign period and format
Schiphol expected 13 million passengers over the 2025 summer holiday and about 3.5 million in the 2026 May holiday. These periods affect demand and availability, and wraps, sponsorships and activations carry their own production and approval requirements.
Production and installation
Artwork adaptation, printing, installation and removal add to the media rate, and 21% VAT (BTW) goes on top. Your quote itemises every line.
