List of airports in the Netherlands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of airports in the Netherlands, grouped by type and sorted by location.
The largest airport by far is Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, which is actually one of the largest of Europe. Smaller airports with scheduled passenger service are Rotterdam Airport (formerly known as Zestienhoven), Groningen Airport Eelde, Eindhoven Airport and Maastricht Aachen Airport. De Peel, Valkenburg and Soesterberg have been closed as a military airports, and are now mainly used by gliders. The future of former military airport Twente is uncertain.
For Middenmeer and Oostwold the locators EHMM and EHOW respectively are used on occasion, however, as of yet they have not been officially assigned to these airports by ICAO. Jeppesen uses location code EH01 for Oostwold airport (not to be confused with the EH0001 locator assigned by the Dutch authorities to the VU Medisch Centrum helipad in Amsterdam).
Rarely used helipads without an ICAO indicator, offshore oilrigs and small glider fields are not included in this list. Medical helipads have been assigned the identification codes EH0001 to EH0030 by the Dutch authorities, but these are not official ICAO indicators and thus these helipads are not included in this list. The Maasvlakte and IJmuiden helipads are restricted to maritime piloting services and are not connected to the AFTN network.
