There is work to be done at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Despite a very quiet period due to the consequences of the corona crisis, maintenance has to be carried out on runways. Fortunately, air traffic is finally starting to get going again. The slight increase in flights in June is expected to continue in July. 55.000 to 70.000 passengers a day are expected by the end of July. On the Zwanenburgbaan at Schiphol, work will be carried out daily between 20:24 and 27:31 from Monday 14.00 July to Friday 23.00 July and Monday 17 July to Friday 28 July. Between August XNUMX and August XNUMX, work will be carried out on the runway. During all these periods, the Zwanenburgbaan at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is closed to air traffic. The work consists of cabling the lighting of the runway.

Due to the consequences of the corona crisis, it has been very quiet times Schiphol Airportand the Zwanenburgbaan is little used. In the first two weeks of July, this concerned 3 to 6% of the flight movements, an average of 10 to 20 flights per day. Schiphol wants to limit the nuisance for local residents as much as possible, so it has been decided to carry out work on the runway early. During the maintenance work there is a chance that the Aalsmeerbaan and the Buitenveldertbaan will be used more often. The deployment of these jobs depends on, among other things, the availability of jobs, environmental rules for job use and availability of jobs. There are always 2 runways in use at Schiphol, one for departing aircraft and one for arriving aircraft. The Kaagbaan and Polderbaan are used as much as possible, because of these runways the noise nuisance for local residents is less than on other runways. During busy times it may be that a second runway or runway is needed, at these busy times the Kaagbaan or the polderbaan is used.
