A view of the bus park at Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 1968. The distinctive KLM blue colour scheme is seen on the buses. Behind is a passenger concourse from the terminal and one of the gates leading on to the taxiway. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (or Schiphol Airport) is the main international airport of the Netherlands. It is located 9 kilometres ( miles) southwest of Amsterdam, in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer. Schiphol opened in 1916 as a military airbase. In 1949 it was decided that Schiphol was to become the primary airport of the Netherlands. In 1967 Schiphol expanded with a new terminal area. Most of the 1967 terminal is still in use today. Dutch designer Benno Wissing created signage for Schiphol Airport, well known for its clear typography and clear colour-coding. To avoid confusion, he prohibited any other signage in the shades of yellow and green he used. This part of the airport area has been further expanded and developed including a new, taller, relocated control tower. With almost 72 million passengers in 2019, it is the third-busiest airport in Europe in terms of passenger volume and the busiest in Europe in terms of aircraft movements. Schiphol is the hub for KLM and its regional affiliate KLM Cityhopper. This image is from an amateur Kodak 35mm colour transparency. It will look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
