COO Hanne Buis will leave Royal Schiphol Group on 1 February. A difference of opinion has recently arisen, which the management board and supervisory board have jointly and intensively tried to bridge. The difference of opinion concerns the operational management of the airport. Despite the joint efforts, it was not possible to bridge the differences. As a result, the Supervisory Board sees no other option then to terminate the employment contract with Hanne Buis. As a result, Schiphol's management temporarily consists of CEO Ruud Sondag and CFO Robert Carsouw. The resulting vacancy will be filled soon.
Ruud Sondag will be Royal Schiphol Group's new CEO from 1 November 2022. The Supervisory Board appointed him ad interim until 31 August 2023. He forms Schiphol Group's management team together with Robert.
London Heathrow Airport will lift its daily cap of 100,000 passengers per day on Oct. 29, while Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport will extend its cap until the end of March 2023.
