Schiphol day and night This map shows the expansion of the airport in 1935: from 79 to 210 hectares (compared to 2787 hectares in 2023!). There is also a night landing facility set up and four asphalt concrete runways, instead of grass. This results in continuous flights also in the evening and at night and, as a result, ‘the engine roar is unrelenting throughout the day.’
