WEBWIRE – Friday, June 30, 2023
From Monday 3 until Tuesday 11 July, maintenance works are being carried out on the Buitenveldertbaan Runway. During this period of maintenance, the runway is not available for air traffic. Flights that normally take off from or land on the Buitenveldertbaan are being directed to the other runways, such as the Zwanenburgbaan, Aalsmeerbaan and Schiphol-Oostbaan during this period.
Annual maintenance is carried out on all the runways so that they remain in good condition. The Buitenveldertbaan Runway will be, if necessary, undergoing restorative works on the asphalt and markings. In addition, the cabling and electrics will be checked, lights cleaned or repaired, and the grass around the runway cut. The rainwater drainage system will also be inspected and where necessary flushed out. Because the Buitenveldertbaan is not in use for air traffic during these works, there is also an opportunity to inspect the taxiways and adjust the signage around it. These works are being carried out in collaboration with construction company Heijmans.
