Short history

Rotterdam already had an airport in 1920. At that time Waalhaven Airport had connections with London and Paris and there was even a real aircraft factory! The airfield was destroyed during the bombing of Rotterdam on 10 May 1940.
In 1956 the new Zestienhoven Airport was opened, named after the polder in which it is located. Later it was renamed to Rotterdam Airport and nowadays the airport is called Rotterdam The Hague Airport.
