Emergency services and airport partners will hold a joint exercise at Amsterdam Schiphol on Thursday, 19 November 2026. The drill will simulate a major security incident involving an aircraft in the airport’s secure airside area.
Participants include Schiphol, KLM, the police and Special Interventions Unit, the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, fire and ambulance services, the Ministry of Defence and the Kennemerland Safety Region. The exercise will test how the organisations share information and coordinate their response.
Some activity may be visible from public roads. Travellers and residents may see more emergency vehicles than usual, including specialist police vehicles using blue lights and sirens between exercise locations. Organisers say these movements are part of the drill and that they are working to minimise disruption to travellers and airport operations.
