Business-Jet Movements Fall Net 387 at Three Amsterdam-Area Airports in 30-Day Comparison
Why It MattersThe pattern shows business-jet demand at Amsterdam-area airports can shift sharply between short windows without a clear migration trend between the three fields.
Business-jet flight-activity records show combined movements across the three Amsterdam-area airports — EHAM, EHRD and EHLE — fell by 387 (–11.6%) when comparing the 30-day window of 22 August–20 September against the preceding 30-day window of 23 July–21 August.
EHAM (Amsterdam Airport Schiphol) was essentially flat, rising by 3 movements (+0.1%), from 2,321 (1,158 departures / 1,163 arrivals) to 2,324 (1,164 departures / 1,160 arrivals). EHRD (Rotterdam The Hague Airport) fell by 226 movements (–28.1%), from 805 to 579. EHLE (Lelystad Airport) recorded the steepest proportional decline, dropping 164 movements (–82.8%), from 198 to 34.
Movement counts are on an airport basis, with each departure and each arrival counted separately, and both windows span 30 days, allowing direct comparison. The figures do not show a clear numerical pattern of traffic migrating from EHAM to the two surrounding airports during this window, and a single 30-day comparison is insufficient to draw conclusions about longer-term airport-selection shifts.
