NETHERLANDS. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has unveiled the Schiphol Business Taxi, a luxury taxi service especially designed to help business travellers start or end their journey in business class style. The taxi – which includes a green, electric version, the Electric Business Taxi – is a new version of the Schiphol Travel Taxi, which has already been in use for many years.
Both of these transport products are offered by the joint venture between Schiphol Group and Connexxion.

The Schiphol Electric Business Taxi is said to be 100% electric and can cover a radius of around 100km |
Passengers can reserve a Schiphol Business Taxi up to four hours ahead of departure and can be transported from anywhere in the Netherlands, apart from the West Frisian Islands. Extra services are offered, such as an escort to and from the gate and check-in assistance to help business travellers book flights and check-in.
The launch of the first Electric Business Taxi means that there now is a green option available to the business market too. The Schiphol Electric Business Taxi is said to be 100% electric and can cover a radius of around 100km. This makes it suited to short distances, such as journeys between Schiphol and central Amsterdam or the Amsterdam Zuidas business district. The “˜green’ version also offers Wi-Fi connectivity as an additional facility. Eventually, Wi-Fi will be rolled out to all Schiphol Business Taxis.
Schiphol Group Chief Financial Officer Pieter Verboom said: “We are extremely proud that our collaboration with Connexxion has enabled us to bring quality and expertise together to create two new taxi products. These products not only meet the needs of our customers but also contribute to our goal of increasing sustainable transport.”
“Schiphol Business Taxi is a perfect fit with our objective of providing business travellers the highest levels of comfort and personal service – our core values,” said Connexxion Chief Financial Officer Bram Drexhage. “Schiphol Electric Business Taxi reflects our corporate social responsibility strategy, which includes minimising the environmental impact of transportation. We are proud that Schiphol Electric Business Taxi has enabled us to do so.”
