Flights to Amsterdam
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Amsterdam is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM, 56 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amsterdam Airport Schiphol | AMS | 11 km (7 mi) | 12,467 ft | -11 ft |
| Rotterdam The Hague Airport | RTM | 56 km (35 mi) | 7,218 ft | -15 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,467 ft, AMS can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at -11 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
