History - Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
Using a field as its main runway, Amsterdam Schiphol was opened as a military base in 1916, and first used for civil aircraft in 1920. By 1940 the field being used as a runway was replaced by 4 asphalt runways.
The name of the airport, Schiphol, was derived from a former fortification called Fort Schiphol which was part of the Stelling van Amsterdam defense works.
Now home to 6 runways (one of which is used for general aviation) Amsterdam Schiphol has transformed into one of Europe’s busiest airports, regularly in the top five.
