Detailed description (English): As part of the mobility concept ‘Ruim baan voor de speedfiets’ (Pave the way for the fast bicycle) – which identifies an opportunity for a new bicycle highway connecting the airport and the city and business district – we created detailed plans for the Fly + Bike concept.
This will allow travelers flying to Amsterdam to have the option to book a bicycle together with their plane ticket. If they have large baggage, this will then be delivered to their final destination through a special electric baggage service. Fly+Bike will help to set an example to the world of how cycling can be integrated into society, and it will contribute to the true ‘Dutch experience’.
The idea was developed in cooperation with our partners at BAM Infra, Royal HaskoningDHV, Mijksenaar and Gazelle. And we’ve since been undertaking on the ground research, insight gathering and trials in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Munich, Germany to expand the concept further. We also want to make it easier for all airport workers to commute by bike.
