De functie

Royal Schiphol Group has the ambition to bring the world closer. We focus on delivering great experiences and valuable services to passengers and partners 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We strive for success in our goal to be Europe’s preferred airport. We have the ambition to become the world’s Leading Digital Airport in by 2018. Therefore, we are constantly exploring new technologies to achieve this goal. Next to maintaining our current technical environment, we focus on developing state-of-the-art digital solutions for our travelers, airlines and colleagues. In order to achieve this, we have embedded innovation, customer centricity and agility in our way of working.

Our Department
Airport IT Services is part of the IT organization of Schiphol Group. We are about 40 colleagues in five teams. Our primary goal is to deliver vital data services for Schiphol to keep passengers, baggage, cargo and planes flowing seamlessly to, from and through the airport. We achieve this by building and maintaining a wide variety of core functions. A new addition to our ESB and interfaces are API’s. This strategy allows us to improve our customer journey.

The API’s are used by internal colleagues, external customers (e.g. airlines) and the public. A selection of our API’s can be downloaded and are free to use by anyone right here:

These API’s are developed by your direct colleagues in the API team. In our API support team we take care of a safe and structured way of using the API’s. With our Self-Service platform in Openshift, we are able to realize a containerized platform in a multi cloud environment. This platform is based on Docker and Kubernetes. Overall, this means we can easily upscale our API services whenever needed. One of our main goals is to minimize our time-to-market, which is further enhanced by our completely containerized CI/CD workflow.
