Boeing The Netherlands
Boeing has been a part of the Netherlands aerospace community for more than 80 years, contributing to and benefiting from the country’s tradition of innovation and excellence. Today, Boeing and its Dutch airline customers and supplier partners are interdependent. The company maintains strong connections and solid relationships with stakeholders across the Dutch aviation ecosystem, including the government, customers, suppliers, research and development organizations, nonprofit organizations and regulatory bodies.
As a matter of fact, Boeing has partnered with the Dutch industry for eight decades. In the 1930s, Royal Dutch Airlines — known as KLM, for Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij — became the first airline outside the United States to fly a Douglas airliner.
Boeing currently has nearly 350 employees in the Netherlands. The Boeing Amsterdam office is a diverse team with more than 20 nationalities and 40 languages spoken. Other offices are placed at a number of locations, including the Spare Parts Center near Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport and a team of engineers at Woensdrecht Air Force Base in the south of the Netherlands.
Boeing has delivered more than 350 commercial aircraft to Dutch customers, and the company highly values its long record of working successfully with Dutch military customers and supporting the country’s defense, service and supply chain industries.
