Helicopter flight Schiphol
Departing near Schiphol
You can't fly over Schiphol itself: the airspace around the airport is reserved for large air traffic. The nearest departure point for a sightseeing flight is Hilversum airfield, about 29 kilometres as the crow flies.
Schiphol from the air
Schiphol lies in the Haarlemmermeer, a polder that was drained in the mid-nineteenth century. From the air, what stands out is how straight the roads and ditches run. From Hilversum, on a clear day, you can see Amsterdam on the horizon; the airport itself stays at a distance.
Flying over Schiphol itself
If you want to see the big aircraft up close, a sightseeing flight isn't the way to do it.
