Tanja Dik, Director at Amsterdam airport said:

chiphol is continually working on innovations and offering optimum service for passengers, With the Bitcoin machine we hope to serve travelers because they can easily exchange ‘local’ euros for the ‘global’ Bitcoin or Ethereum . This can be useful, because they can no longer make use of Euros in their home country, for example.
