Eindhoven now busier than Rotterdam
Apart from Amsterdam there are four other Dutch airports with scheduled services; Eindhoven, Groningen, Maastricht and Rotterdam. In 2007 Eindhoven overtook Rotterdam to become the country’s second busiest airport in passenger terms.
Eindhoven has embraced low-cost carriers and currently serves 30 destinations with scheduled services of which 14 are provided by Ryanair, nine by transavia.com and three by Wizz Air. Passenger numbers at the airport have more than quadrupled in just six years.
Rotterdam is served primarily by Transavia.com with 12 routes but VLM offers ‘business’ services to Hamburg, London City and Manchester. Maastricht’s three scheduled services are all provided by Ryanair (to Alicante, Girona and Pisa) while Groningen also currently has just three scheduled services including bmi Regional’s year-round service to Aberdeen.
