The hub

Rotterdam, a private aviation
gateway for business travel

Rotterdam's economy is dominated by the Port of Rotterdam, the largest seaport in Europe handling over 400 million tonnes of cargo annually. The city's corporate ecosystem is dense with energy, petrochemical, shipping, and logistics multinationals — Shell, Unilever, and SHV Holdings all maintain significant presences in the greater Rotterdam-The Hague corridor. For private aviation, this translates into consistent executive movement between Rotterdam and energy hubs such as Aberdeen, Oslo, and Houston, as well as financial centres including Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and London.

Rotterdam The Hague Airport (EHRD/RTM) is the Netherlands' primary dedicated business aviation airport, operating between 06:00 and 23:00 with no slot restrictions for private jets. The airport sits approximately 8 km northwest of the city centre, with a runway of 2,400 metres capable of handling midsize and super-midsize aircraft. Customs clearance is available during operational hours by prior arrangement, enabling smooth inbound and outbound processing for international charter flights. The absence of the congestion typical of Amsterdam Schiphol makes RTM the tactical choice for time-sensitive itineraries.

Beyond the port, Rotterdam is a regional hub for architecture, culture, and innovation, hosting the International Film Festival, Architecture Biennale, and a growing tech startup scene centred around the RDM Campus and the innovation district of Rotterdam Science Tower. The Hague, seat of the Dutch government and multiple international courts, lies just 20 minutes by road, making combined Rotterdam-The Hague itineraries common among diplomatic and legal delegations. Antwerp and Brussels are reachable within the hour, reinforcing Rotterdam's value as a multi-city anchor point for European business circuits.
