According to reports by Thansettakij, Joery Strijtveen, head of Aviation Partnerships at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, expressed strong enthusiasm regarding the carrier’s return after nearly three decades.
Strijtveen emphasised that Thailand represents a vital market for Schiphol, noting that the reinstated connection to Bangkok will significantly broaden travel options and enhance transit connectivity to diverse destinations across Asia.
A Strategic Gateway for Commerce and Tourism
Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, holds significant value for THAI as both a premium cultural destination and a major macroeconomic hub.
Beyond its status as a tourism powerhouse—famous for landmarks such as the Rijksmuseum, Dam Square, and its UNESCO World Heritage-listed Canal Ring—the city serves as one of Western Europe’s most critical commercial, industrial, and transport gateways.
Schiphol’s strategic network allows passengers seamless rail connections into neighbouring European economic centres, including Belgium and Germany.
Furthermore, the city boasts one of the Netherlands’ primary seaports, playing an indispensable role in international trade and European logistics. By restoring this non-stop link, THAI positions itself to capture lucrative business travel and cargo freight alongside high-volume leisure traffic.
