Schiphol Group proposes super dividend based on a minimum A rating







                                                     Persbericht / Press Release


Schiphol, 31 March 2008



During the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) of N.V. Luchthaven
Schiphol (trading name Schiphol Group) on 17 April 2008, the Board of Management
will propose an extra payment from the retained profits reserve (super dividend)
in addition to the regular dividend proposal.



When the sale of a minority stake in Schiphol Group was still under discussion,
it was agreed with the then Minister of Finance that prior to this
privatisation, Schiphol Group would pay a super dividend to its shareholders.
Although the government decided in 2007 that the privatisation would not take
place, the shareholders have stated that they still see sufficient reason to
request the payment of a super dividend.



After discussions with the Supervisory Board, the Schiphol Group Board of
Management proposes the following:

    o    A super dividend (one-off payment from the retained profits reserve)
         of EUR 500 million in 2008, to be paid in principle in the third 
         quarter of 2008;

    o    A second super dividend (one-off payment from the retained profits
         reserve) of up to EUR 500 million in 2009. The exact amount will be 
         such that the resulting rating will correspond with at least a single  
         A flat (Standard & Poor's).



On the basis of Section 25(1)(i) of the Dutch Works Council Act (WOR), the
Central Works Council of Schiphol Group has the right to be consulted whenever
significant credit facilities need to be arranged, as required for the financing
of the super dividend.



Besides the regular and super dividend proposals, the AGM agenda includes the
adoption of the financial statements for 2007 and the Corporate Responsibility
Report for 2007 and the discharging of the Board of Management and the
Supervisory Board of responsibility in respect of the execution of their tasks
over the financial year 2007.



Shareholders of N.V. Luchthaven Schiphol are the State of the Netherlands
(75.8%), the municipality of Amsterdam (21.8%) and the municipality of Rotterdam
(2.4%).
