5 Largest Airports in Europe

4. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

Number of Total Passengers in 2022: 52.4 million

The Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is another century old airport as it first started to operate in 1916. However, its early years saw it reserved only for military use, and over the years, civilian use has taken over completely. The airport has more than two hundred gates, and it is also another airport that is capable of working with the Airbus A380. The fact that it is one of the Netherlands’s largest airports is also a limiting factor as the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is limited by law when it comes to aircraft movements. The airport features six runways, and it is also among the few airports in the world that sit completely below sea level.
