Schiphol opened on 16 September 1916 as a military airbase, consisting of a few barracks and a field serving as both platform and runways as its shown in schiphol map. When civil aircraft started to make use of the field (17 December 1920), schiphol was often called Schiphol-les-bains. The Fokker aircraft manufacturer started a factory near Schiphol airport in 1919.
Schiphol has six runways as its mentioned in schiphol map, one of which is used mainly by general aviation aircraft. The northern end of the Polderbaan, the name of last schiphol runway to be constructed, is 7 km (4.3 mi) north of the control tower, causing lengthy taxi times (up to 20 min) to the schiphol terminal. Plans have been made for a seventh runway.
