Why Amsterdam Airport Is So Busy (Even With little Population)

Used to fly via AMS and its a great airport for traveling. This video has a few misses. First Netherlands is in Schengen and many people outside Amsterdam will go to other countries to fly such as Brussels. Next as part of KLM is their partnership with Delta airlines. Delta has turned Amsterdam into a massive hub and has flights to Amsterdam throughout the US. Given its geography Amsterdam is a great connecting airport for North American travelers going to Europe, Africa, and even certain parts of Asia.

Amsterdam really serves the whole randstad region (and you can argue the whole country) since Schiphol has flights the other airports in NL doesn’t. Btw the randstad region is 9 million people and includes Rotterdam. It’s about the same land area as the London metro but has more farm land seperating the urban areas.

[@VV-mq6cq]

Exactly. De Randstad is a metropolitan area which covers (most of) the western part of the country. For the rest of the country, it depends which airport is closer. It’s sometimes more convenient to either travel to Brussels or the airports near Düsseldorf or Cologne/Bonn. The video makes it sound like Amsterdam is The Hub for The Netherlands and that’s simply not true for various reasons.

To be fair the Amsterdam metropolitan area (and in extension the whole Randstad which is at most 40 minutes away by train) has a lot more people living there together. People outside of Randstad generally drive a car instead of taking the train.

I fly KLM a lot and it always strikes me how many passengers are non-Dutch transit passengers. Many Scandinavians travel within Europe with KLM over Schiphol airport Same for British and East Europeans. And obviously the inter continental travelers to literally ALL continents. When a plane is delayed the crew always announces the transit passengers' connecting flights and gates. That's when I notice the diversity of passengers on board.

[@jsaviation]

It’s a true shame that the government wants Schiphol to shrink and lose its current position while the countries around us move on and grow their airports. One thing I’d like to mention about the video is that there’s 3 other airports in the country with international flights of which one is in the north (Groningen, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Maastricht). They do have flights outside Europe too (Turkey, Morocco etc). The difference with Schiphol is that they don’t have long haul flights :)

[@johniii8147]

Yeah shrinking the traffic at AMS doesn't really make sense.

[@georghuppertz5727]

You can shrink Schiphol if you take out the many flights to Paris, Brussels, Luxembourg, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, etc. These flights mere exist to fill other planes and are perfectly replaceable by a train.

[@szabopal85]

​@georghuppertz5727 as a flight traveler I am not sure I would like to travel by train instead of plane to catch another flight.... if there is a delay with the train I would miss the second flight without any compensation, if the first flight is delayed the airline simply rebook my second flight, i do not want the inconviniences of carrying 3 luggage from train station to airport, stress about waiting time at luggage drop off and securitiy check lines at an airport I do not know well etc etc.... i do agree that trains should replace flights everywhere where it is reasonable but combining longer train trips with flights can work only if the train trip is also covered by the same airline as the flight before/ after to achieve similar level of comfort and I do not think that this will happen anytime soon

I went to Europe on a trip in high school. We flew into Gatwick, south of London. I had no idea it existed until I got there. A few days in London, then by bus to Paris and then on to Amsterdam. So all three cities. And we flew out of Schiphol. Amsterdam is great! It has a real small town, countryside feel. Another thing you overlooked is the days of the Dutch Empire. All of the Dutch colonies around the world led to the start of KLM. And of course, the VOC. The Dutch East India company. And Royal Dutch Shell. For a "small country" the Netherlands has a worldwide presence. Like France and Britain and (UGH!) America. Here where I live on the East Coast of Canada there was a KLM ticket office. Amsterdam to Toronto and the return flight was Toronto-Halifax-Amsterdam. To load seafood on the return was the story. It was like that for a few years but they closed the KLM office here.

London Heathrow runs at full capacity, so if there's any kind of weather problems the delays get really bad, something to consider if you're connecting there from Scotland.

Well, many municipalities like Duivendrecht, Hoofddorp, Diemen, Aalsmeer etc are nearer than Amsterdam to Schiphol airport. And these municipalities when combined are around 250K+ population. And if we take 1 hour from Schiphol then it has as much population as London

Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag and Utrecht together are the Randstad region (with many other towns in between them). The Randstad as a whole is the biggest megalopolis of Europe and the economical heart of the Netherlands, with more than 8 million inhabitants.

[@mauricekloos9869]

36% Of passengers at Schiphol are transfers. This is because Schiphol is the KLM hub. They collect passengers throughout Europe and transfer them to long haul flights and visa versa. For example, there are no direct flight from JFK to Lyon, but there is a direct KLM flight between AMS and JFK, followed by a AMS to LYS flight. The transfer point of this journey is Schiphol. The same is for Athens, Greece. There is no ATH to EZE (Buenos Aires). There is however a ATH to AMS and a AMS to EZE. KLM has also strong connections with hubs in Asia. Airlines use KLM as parter, to get people from the Netherlands to Singapore, followed by a connecting flying on Lion Air e.g.

The map doesn’t show all the London airports, Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Stanstead and Luton. That’s a significant factor in the South East of England. However as many long distance flights go from Heathrow thats often the option for many UK travelers. But Heathrow has poor public transport access. There’s no direct access by rail other than from the capital. And that is what Schiphol gets right with its rail connections. And that why people outside of London often connect on KLM City Hopper to Schiphol. It’s quicker and cheaper than UK rail. Much as i like the single terminal concept at Schiphol there has to be limitations to its growth. There is already a lack of gates with many short haul KLM flights going from the Fokker Farm. Although KLM manage it reasonably well, it’s hardly ideal.
