KLM's hub built on reclaimed land 3 meters below sea level with six runways creating Europe's most complex configuration. Delta codeshares and Transavia add traffic. Pilots master the Polderbaan approaches and navigate between widely-spaced runways. The innovative engineering and constant battle with water make Schiphol unique in aviation.
