Second equine handling center
And from March 2013, the airport will boost a second equine handling centre. The new facility will be a self-contained unit sited within the existing Aviapartner handling centre, located in the centre of Schiphol's cargo area. The facility will be fully certificated for Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (VWA) veterinary inspections, and will operate as a Border Inspection Post for the acceptance and clearance of horse movements into the EU from any part of the world. Initially, the facility will cater only for horses and start handling other live animals at a later stage.
