Location
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM) is the primary commercial airport serving Rotterdam and The Hague, the two largest cities in the South Holland province of the Netherlands. Located approximately 5 kilometres northwest of Rotterdam city centre, it handles several million passengers annually and serves as a key regional hub for leisure and business travel. The airport has origins dating to the 1920s and has undergone multiple expansions over the decades. It primarily serves European short-haul destinations, with carriers operating scheduled routes to major cities across the continent. Its relatively compact size makes it a convenient alternative to Amsterdam's larger Schiphol Airport. RTM is owned by the Rotterdam municipality and managed in partnership with Aéroports de Paris. The airport has faced ongoing discussions regarding noise regulations and capacity limits due to its urban location, which constrains its growth compared to other major Dutch airports.
Terminals
The airport operates a single terminal building handling all passenger departures and arrivals.
Getting to & from
The airport is connected to Rotterdam city centre by bus services and a shuttle link, with Rotterdam Centraal station accessible for onward rail travel.
