The first civilian use after the First World War where the airport completely lost its military role. By 1940 after the first war the airport had been seized by the German army led by Hitler in the same year and its name had been changed to Fliegerhorst Schiphol. The airport was destroyed, but a new airport was quickly rebuilt. In 1949, it is now the main international airport in the Netherlands. It is the third busiest airport in the continent of Europe in terms of the volume of passengers, the busiest in Europe in terms of traffic. The airport was constructed as a one-stop-shop concept, divided into three large departure halls.
Airport Schiphol is located southwest of Amsterdam in Haarlemer in the north of the Netherlands, 5.6 miles (9 kilometers). It is also the main airport and the closest major airport to his city, and it is only 11 minutes from the city center by train, which is a great advantage. Schiphol is the hub of KLM and its regional company KLM Cityhopper as well as Martinair, Corendon Dutch Airlines, TUI fly the Netherlands, and Transavia. The airport also serves as a base for EasyJet and LEVEL.
Airport Schiphol is the best European destination in itself, with enough shopping for dozens of markets duty-free and that's great as you find the advantage of monthly deals. Other perks that air travelers will not experience elsewhere include a large selection of lavender seeds and a great location for the famous Rijksmuseum, lamps for sale, with a selection of ongoing works from one of the leading art collections
