In October 2008, the boards of Aéroports de Paris and the Schiphol groups agreed to take stakes of eight percent each in the other's company, making the newly-formed group the world's largest airport group.[2]

In March 2016, the Schiphol group authorized the construction of a new terminal at the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, set to be ready by 2023, and with a capacity of 14 million passengers a year.[8]
