AMSTERDAM'S GATEWAY TO EUROPE ENLARGED

Extensions of the facilities of the Amsterdam airport are related to an enlargement of the central terminal building and a new finger which can accommodate eight B-747's simultaneously.

Attention is given to the design concept, departures, arrivals, baggage, domestic passengers, transit passengers, visitors, a sail link to the airport, aspects of car parking, the terminal building, architectural features, the air conditioning and ventilation system, the electrical system, and questions of acoustics.
