The additional service will be welcomed not only by passengers travelling to the Dutch capital, but also by those wishing to travel globally to one of 332 direct destinations in 97 countries served by the one of Europe’s most popular hub airports.”

The evening service will be available to passengers from March 31, Flight times include a 7pm departure from Schiphol airport and will arrive at Southampton at 7.10pm local time. Another flight leaves Southampton at 7.40pm, and arrives in Amsterdam at 9.50pm local time.

New flights are being added to Southampton Airport following the completion of a £17m runway extension in August 2023 - which spans 164 metres. Since then, new flights to Glasgow and Belfast have started, with services to Mallorca, Alicante and Faro being added for this summer.
