Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM) Information

(Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands)

The third-biggest airport in the Netherlands is officially named the Rotterdam The Hague Airport, because it serves the country's second- and third-most populated cities. Over a million people currently use this hub each year, which is situated north-west of Rotterdam. The facility is also a popular general aviation centre containing several flying schools and clubs.

This airport may be far smaller than Amsterdam's Schiphol, but it is nonetheless popular for its less-crowded atmosphere and large number of affordable direct flights to several European cities. Rotterdam and The Hague (Den Haag) are both less than a 30-minute drive away.

The single airport terminal was designed to reduce noise pollution and to be fully accessible to disabled passengers. Of note, the complex is conveniently located adjacent to the Doenkade and Rijksweg routes, which link the two nearby cities to each other.
