Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

Arrivals and departures, traced from ADS-B data.

Museum-quality gloss aluminum · fade-resistant · ready to hang.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is the Netherlands' main international airport, a SkyTeam hub connecting Europe, the Americas, Asia, and beyond from a single terminal 9 kilometres southwest of Amsterdam. This metal print captures that reach: every flight path rendered from ADS-B data, colorized by altitude, tracing each climb and descent across your chosen palette.

The print visualizes all 4,123 flights recorded from 17 to 19 May 2025, the 105th anniversary of KLM's inaugural flight from London Croydon to Schiphol. Printed direct-to-metal on an aluminum panel, it is aviation wall art tying a century of flight history to that specific weekend.

ADS-B Points

AMS logged 4,123 flights across three days from May 17 to 19, 2025, split between 2,019 arrivals and 2,104 departures, with 870 distinct aircraft appearing in the data. Traffic ran continuously across the full 24-hour clock, though the quietest stretch came at 03:00 CEST, which recorded zero movements. The busiest hour was 10:00, with 312 flights (133 arrivals, 179 departures). A secondary evening push at 17:00 produced 274 movements, heavily departure-weighted at 177 outbound against 97 inbound. Daily totals climbed across the window: 1,331 on May 17, 1,389 on May 18, and 1,403 on May 19. London Heathrow was the top route by combined movements, with 43 arrivals and 43 departures across the three days. Barcelona followed at 85 total movements, then Dublin at 77, Copenhagen at 71, and Madrid at 68. Frankfurt and Zurich each recorded 66. Approach directions spread across the compass, with ESE (240), SE (239), SSW (206), and SSE (202) accounting for the largest shares. Departure headings followed a similar spread, led by SE (261), ESE (254), SSE (221), and WNW (214). The altitude profile shows two pronounced concentrations. The 37,000 to 39,000 ft band was the most populated, with over 309,000 ADS-B position points recorded there. A second dense cluster sat in the 0 to 3,000 ft range, reflecting the volume of approach and departure traffic near the airport. The average groundspeed across all tracked legs was 311 knots, with a maximum of 699.5 knots. Average leg distance came in at 653.8 nautical miles, and average leg duration at 107 minutes. Dutch-registered aircraft made up the largest share of the fleet mix at 225 unique airframes, followed by US (67) and GB (66) registrations.

Great gift to commemorate trip!

We ordered the LHR image (aurora/light) as a gift for our son who is in college and training to be a commercial airline pilot. We had taken a family trip to London and this was the perfect gift for him. He loved the image, and immediately scanned the included QR code to review the flight data that is available to support each map. The quality and delivery timing were exceptional. We will definitely order more!

Thank you for your review, Nathan! We wish your son the best on his journey to becoming a pilot.

About the Airport

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol opened on 16 September 1916 as a military airbase on land purchased from a Haarlemmermeer farmer. Civil aircraft began using the field in December 1920, and the military departed entirely in 1923. The airport sits on a drained lake bed, roughly 4 metres below sea level, a geographic oddity that made its early years notoriously muddy and earned it the nickname Schiphol-Les-Bains.

KLM, founded on 7 October 1919, operated its inaugural flight to Schiphol on 17 May 1920, when pilot Jerry Shaw flew a leased De Havilland DH-16 from London Croydon carrying 2 journalists and a stack of newspapers. That single flight marked the birth of commercial aviation in the Netherlands. The airport was heavily damaged during World War II and required near-total reconstruction, reopening for passenger service in July 1945. A completely new facility, Schiphol-Centrum, was opened by Queen Juliana on 28 April 1967, introducing what would become the airport's defining feature: a single-terminal concept with departure halls connected by lettered piers. The Dutch government formally designated it a national Mainport in 1988. A direct rail link to Amsterdam had already opened in 1978, anchoring the airport within the national transport network.

Today AMS ranks as the world's 5th busiest airport by international passenger traffic and one of Europe's busiest by aircraft movements. KLM and its regional affiliate KLM Cityhopper are the dominant carriers, with Delta Air Lines, easyJet, and Transavia among the major operators. The Polderbaan, a sixth runway added in 2003, sits 5 kilometres from the terminal, far enough to require its own air traffic control tower. The airport operates under strict government slot limits, a constraint that shapes everything from airline strategy to gate planning.
