As a Dutchie i can explain that it's allways in the news with noise complains and people who are against the expansion of the airport. Not only by the locals but also the climate activists. Also the farmers hate the airport. Recent years there was a farmers uprising because they were being cut by all corners because of the co2 emmisions that they generate, while Schiphol barely didn''t get any cuts and instead kept growing. Leading to quite some anger. Also due to a lack of personal the lugage is poorly taken care of. leading to people missing their lugage of having it damaged. P.S. i don't hate it myself, but this is what i think some of the reasons are.

Ай бұрын

It's hated locally due to all that noise very close to residential neighbourhoods.

@studiolegenda Ай бұрын

As a Dutch person I think it's mostly the people who live nearby the airport who hate it the most. Not so much the people who actually pass through it, considering how well it is integrated with other modes of transport (especially the train station!) But in such a densely packed country, it's mostly the (noise) pollution that just keeps coming back to haunt it. Talks about moving the airport have been had for decades (including building one out at sea). But no serious alternatives have materialized in concrete plans.

@Tiger313NL Ай бұрын

Funny thing is, the airport was way out there in the Haarlemmermeerpolder. But having the airport there means there are job opportunities. People want to live closer to their work, so they buy houses that keep getting built closer to the airport. And then they start to bitch and whine about noise. Well duh, you just bought/rented a house next to an airport, what do you expect! 🙄

Schiphol can certainly be improved, but most hated? That makes no sense. Signage for instance is top notch and has been an example for how it’s to be done around the world. No messy transfers between terminal buildings with busses or weird trains, walking distances are generally reasonable. Security has the most modern equipment that allows you to keep everything in your bags, including electronics and drink bottles with contents. And having the train station right there with trains going everywhere is perfect. Sure, baggage handling could be quicker, and security lines could be terrible it have much improved lately.

Way too many stairs like most European airports - I call it the EU fitness program. Reykjavik is the worst, esp outside stairs in the winter, but they all seem to think that airports are only for fit people carrying basically nothing with no kids in tow, eg. before everyone only had carry-on luggage.

@RevStickleback Ай бұрын

The new scanners are incredibly slow though (or the process of reviewing the scans, to be exact), so rather than speed things up, it's slowed things down. Other than that, it's a good airport, but 75 minute security queues are completely unacceptable. It's like their only response to growing queues snaking right back through the terminal buildings is to put up more barriers to organise the queues, rather than try to increase the capacity at security.

"One of Europe's most hated airports" Seriously?? I've been an airline pilot flying through this hub for nearly 20yrs. I find it remarkably well laid out, with expert ATC staff and ease of passenger operations. It is a preferred connecting hub for both passengers and crews throughout Europe. An aesthetically unappealing terminal weighs low on my list if I can navigate it in a timely manner. This is clearly not the case with runway constrictions and limited gating options at CDG and LHR, etc...

@@bugsygoothe entire aircraft(so not only commercial) industry is only responsible for about 2.5% of global emissions. Meanwhile demand is growing globally and projected to grow even more in the future. With realistic alternatives for net zero flight still being decades away, it is more efficient for governments to focus on decreasing emissions in other sectors which account for a way larger share of carbon emissions. Such as power generation and heating accounting for 30% of global emissions.

@bugsygoo Ай бұрын

@@bobbytrap2554 These are all good points but... Aviation emmissions have a greater impact on warming than other emmissions, so although small the actual effect is closer to 4 percent of warming. Zero emmission flights already exist in the form of trains. Instead of expanding airports, we should be doing what the French have done and ban short haul flights. That is an extremely cheap way of cutting emmissions. We can also tax flights. That will bring down demand. That will generate government revenue. So, yes, I agree that we should focus on the big stuff but that does not preclude us from focusing on the other stuff, especially when there are some very quick and easy solutions out there.

@bobbytrap2554 Ай бұрын

⁠@bugsygoo I do agree that short haul flights can (and maybe should) be replaced by trains. However, Europe and the US(the rest of the world even more) are a long way away from creating a Shinkansen-like train network that could keep up with this demand. And don’t forget that a lot of flights are freighters which mainly depend on the demand of the products they are carrying. Taxing those flights will drive up prices of everyday products. This will probably anger the population which isn’t really a good strategy when you want to stay in power as a government.

This is incorrect; the Government of the Netherlands ('The Hague') is the majority shareholder of Schiphol group at 69,77%. The municipality of Amsterdam is only a minor shareholder at 20,03%. Therefore, it is not Amsterdam which is in control or who has initiated the revamp program. - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="81">1:21</a> "Opening all the way back in 1916, Schiphol airport was initially a small military airfield.

Maybe not most important overall, but Schiphol is one of the busiest airports for US travel, because of KLM's en Delta's connection through Skyteam. From the top of my head (and a little bit of Googling) Delta has at least 17 daily flights, United has 4 to 6, American has 2 and JetBlue has 1 or 2. And then of course KLM's extensive Canadian network makes it a pretty big hub for North American travelers travelling into the EU

The headlines in the intro are from 2022 when there was a massive security personell shortage (because they got laid off during covid...) resulting in 4-5hr lines for security. The airport is built on a structure from the 1960s that is continuously added-on and upgraded. It works remarkably well if you consider that it competes with airports that are completely built new.

I feel like there could have been said so much more about schiphol. Like how it's one of the buissiest train stations in the netherlands with direct trains to Belgium and France and it built the 'Polderbaan', which is a runway in the same direction as another one but a bit further away, but it gives more capacity and a more Village friendly route than the 'zwanenmeerbaan' (due to less sound)

I pass about once every two years as a leisure traveller through Schiphol and while the experience is not superb, it is constantly solid. I even flew from Schiphol in 2022, the year of poor performance, albeit in October, and things went smoothly.

Great video! Another interesting element is the huge community opposition to disturbed sleep etc from the ever-increasing flight noise and how the airport is trying to grow but without destroying lives below the flight paths. Something we look at very sympathetically in certain suburbs here in Brisbane! The growing use of SODPROPS is super interesting and should help a lot...here in Brissie at least

@james_s60 Ай бұрын

I hate AMS. When you enter from the train station theres multiple entrances, not clearly signposted, that go to different sets of gates. The modern 3d security there is slower than traditional security. Confusing overall layout. Could be worse, could be CDG.

The director of Schiphol was also fired in 2022. A lot has changed since then. For example, around 2,000 new security guards had been hired by 2023. To retain the security guards already present, they received between 20% and 35% pay increases. There was also a shortage of baggage handlers. Schiphol then invested in robotization of baggage handling to also make the work easier. And Schiphol recently installed new scanners, so you no longer have to take off your coat, laptop or shoes. Schiphol is certainly no longer one of the best airports in Europe, but it is an easy to navigate airport.

Dat is omdat het nergens in het nieuws is geweest. Ik zie wel de mededelingen voor de vergunningen, de persberichten van Schiphol die er betrekking op hebben... Maar media? Ho maar. Zelfs BNR lijkt er niet bericht over te hebben. Heel bijzonder. Zelf had ik wel een keer meegekregen dat er werkzaamheden waren en de uitbreiding van de gates en terminals. Maar dat is ook maar puur vanwege vrienden en familie die af en toe naar Schiphol moeten, plus de berichten over de ruzie met de aannemers. Maar de uitbreiding zelf en wat het precies inhoud? Daar staat in de media zo ongeveer niks over in.

Schipol was hated almost a decade ago. That was the time it was under renovation, with low ceilings, and effective transit passengers requiring to go through customs and security clearance. It has been world class atleast since 2014 and getting better. Heathrow would be among the worst since you always lose baggage there.

I used to love flying through AMS; I used it many times a year. Way back in 2008 (it could have been early 2009), I landed and discovered that credit cards would only work with a PIN. In the US, PINs aren’t needed, unless you’re getting cash. I’ve never had a PIN. I couldn’t get a train ticket (or eat). I didn’t want to try and drive over 300 miles to a meeting; that distance ruled out a taxi (I tried and got a laugh). Since. I missed my meetings, I stayed in an adjacent Sheraton (PINless!). I switched my return and went home the next day. I used to transit AMS monthly. I haven’t been to the airport in 16 years. I suppose when I think of AMS some vestigial memory of being stranded influences me. I have no idea if they demand PINs for credit cards today, but I still shudder every time I think of my former, favorite airport. I can’t image ever visiting AMS again. (Your video triggered a mild PTSD moment! 😅)

I was there on Monday...an absolute shambles. 75 minutes to get through security. They have the new x-ray scanners which mean you don't have to remove liquids/gels, but scanning of those bags is now so slow that queues are huge. The airport staff are also really unhelpful. Loads of people were desperately asking staff if there was anything they could do, as they were going to miss their flights, only to be told "you should have come earlier" as if taking getting on for an hour and a half to get through security is normal. They did have biometric gates at passport control, but only had half of them switched on, which caused more delays. I went through the much hated CDG two weeks before, and it was also poor, but Schiphol was worse.
