The Meditation Centre at Schiphol Airport has moved several times to different locations. Chaplains also, they came and they left over time. However chaplaincy care has never stopped since its flagrant beginning in April 1975. Father Jan Duin was the first priest who set foot on the airport floors and took care of passengers and families in crisis. In the same year the first prayer centre of Schiphol was opened for travellers and staff.
In 2025, the Airport Chaplaincy will celebrate its fifty years’ anniversary. And this is a reason for festive activities to mark the special date. The biggest event will take place on June 10th next year. Many representatives and partners who support and work together with the chaplaincy will join us. There will be speeches and live music. Board members, chaplains and colleagues of the Airport Communications Department work closely together. We’ll keep you posted!
