Next week, we are expecting the number of flights per day at Schiphol to increase to 490. Air traffic is forecast to increase further over the course of May. During peak times, which are expected to occur in the morning and evening, a second runway for take-off and landing may be required. Which runway is used depends on various factors, including the wind and weather conditions, runway availability and air traffic volumes.

A look back at 12 – 18 April 2021
Last week, there was an average of 445 flights per day at Schiphol. The most frequently used runway was the Kaagbaan Runway, followed by the Zwanenburgbaan Runway. During the first half of the week, the Buitenveldertbaan Runway was occasionally used as the main runway for landing. This was due to a (north)westerly wind in combination with rain showers. The Aalsmeerbaan Runway was used as the main runway for landing on one day. The Schiphol-Oostbaan Runway was deployed as a second runway for landing on one morning due to the weather conditions during a peak moment. Take a look at the full report in the factsheet (pdf).
