Next week, we expect an average of 435 daily flights at Schiphol. Most of these flights will take off from or land on the Kaagbaan Runway and Zwanenburgbaan Runway. There may be times when the Aalsmeerbaan, Buitenveldertbaan or Schiphol-Oostbaan runways are deployed, depending on air traffic volumes, the weather conditions (forecasted and current) and availability of the other runways. The Polderbaan Runway is unavailable due to major maintenance. Download the full fact sheet (in Dutch) on bezoekbas.nl.

A look back at 15 – 21 March 2021
During this week, Schiphol saw around 385 flights per day. Three-quarters of air traffic landed on or took off from the Kaagbaan and Zwanenburgbaan runways. The Aalsmeerbaan Runway was used as the main runway for landing on three days because of northerly and north-easterly wind. Due to easterly wind and works on the Zwanenburgbaan Runway, the Buitenveldertbaan Runway was used as the main runway for take-off on two days. This runway was also used as the main runway for landing on two days as a result of (north)westerly wind. During peak times, the Aalsmeerbaan, Buitenveldertbaan and Schiphol-Oostbaan runways were also deployed.
