Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport said Thursday it would offer airlines a 10-percent discount on airport charges due to the high price of jet fuel caused by the Iran war.<\/p>\n

The discount is a temporary measure that applies to daytime flights only from April 27 through March 2027, announced the airport, Europe’s fourth-busiest hub.<\/p>\n

“The airport is taking this measure because airlines’ costs have risen unexpectedly and sharply as a result of high kerosene prices,” Schiphol said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Especially in the current geopolitical situation, it is important to keep the Netherlands connected to the rest of the world and to ensure that essential flights can continue to operate.”<\/p>\n

Dutch legacy carrier KLM announced last week it was scrapping nearly one percent of its short-haul flights that had become unprofitable due to high fuel charges.<\/p>\n

The war pitting the US and Israel against Iran has choked trade through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil was shipped before the conflict.<\/p>\n

Airlines have trimmed routes and costs as fuel bills explode and wary passengers think twice about travel plans, a situation that could persist even if a fragile truce holds in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Schiphol admitted there would be a “temporary negative effect” on its financial results, without disclosing an exact figure.<\/p>\n

According to data from industry group ACI Europe, Schiphol was the fourth busiest European hub last year, with 68.77 million passengers.<\/p>\n

London Heathrow, Istanbul and Paris Charles de Gaulle airports were the only busier hubs on the continent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport said Thursday it would offer airlines a 10-percent discount on airport charges due to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":67784,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[101],"tags":[688,2288,36732,3326,199,12724,3974,14733,1039,200,1412],"class_list":["post-67783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-amsterdam","tag-afp","tag-airline","tag-airline-hub","tag-airlines","tag-amsterdam","tag-amsterdam-airport-schiphol","tag-aviation","tag-aviation-industry","tag-civil-aviation","tag-netherlands","tag-transport"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116459939381865724","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67783\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
