The construction of a new Air Traffic Control tower was completed in 1991 as the existing tower could no longer oversee all of the airports as it was further expanded.
Departure Hall 3 was added to the terminal in 1993, as was another pier, G-pier.
New wayfinding signage was designed that year as well by Paul Mijksenaar.
A sixth runway was completed at quite some distance west of the rest of airport in 2003 and was nicknamed the Polderbaan, with the connecting taxiway crossing the A5 motorway.
The distance of this runway means that taxi times to and from this runway can take between 10 and 20 minutes.
It also required the construction of an additional Air Traffic Control tower as the primary tower is too far away to oversee this part of the airfield.

On 25 February 2005, a diamond robbery occurred at Schiphol's cargo terminal.
The robbers used a stolen KLM van to gain airside access.
The estimated value of the stones was around 75 million euros, making it one of the largest diamond robberies ever.

Later in 2005, a fire broke out at the airport's detention centre, killing 11 people and injuring 15.
The complex was holding 350 people at the time of the incident.

Results from the investigation almost one year later showed that fire safety precautions were not in force.
A national outrage resulted in the resignation of Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner (CDA) and Mayor Hartog of Haarlemmermeer.
Spatial Planning Minister Sybilla Dekker (VVD) resigned as well, because she bore responsibility for safety failings cited in the report.
