Zaanstad is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), 16 km (10 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, 61 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amsterdam Airport Schiphol | AMS | 16 km (10 mi) | 12,467 ft | -11 ft |
| Rotterdam The Hague Airport | RTM | 61 km (38 mi) | 7,218 ft | -15 ft |
