Schipholtoren, Air traffic control tower at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Netherlands
The Schiphol Tower reaches 101 meters in height and manages aircraft movements within a 15-kilometer radius of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
The tower began operations in 1991, replacing previous structures that served air traffic control needs since the airport started passenger flights in 1920.
The former control tower now houses Restaurant Wings, where visitors can dine while observing aircraft movements on the Schiphol-Oostbaan Runway.
The main tower accommodates 15 air traffic controllers and features Electronic Flight Strips technology for monitoring aircraft movements across multiple runways.
A second control tower at Schiphol West specifically manages the Polderbaan Runway operations, with space for four controllers working simultaneously.
