Amsterdam-Dublin Aer Lingus 603: Takeoff, North Sea, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Irish Sea 2023-10-12

An annotated flight view covering modern industrial and ageless Yorkshire Moors England from 36,000 feet: this Amsterdam-to-Dublin Aer Lingus 603 flight is captured from its rainy takeoff on Schiphol Airport's Polderbaan runway, passing UK-owned sunny North Sea wind farms, the retooled former fishing Lincolnshire city of Grimsby, the tracking of an Easy Jet flight below on descent for Manchester, industrial Scunthorpe, Leeds, Halifax, Bradford and seaside-resort Blackpool before crossing the Irish Sea for a straight-in westbound landing at Dublin.

Why Is Amsterdam Schiphol's Polderbaan Runway So Far From The Terminal?
As an airport's passenger numbers grow, so does its need for additional runways. As more are built, the airport's surface area expands further and further outwards. This can mean that newer runways have to be built a significant distance from the terminal building. Perhaps the most famous and extreme example of this is the 'Polderbaan' at Amsterdam Schipol (AMS). https://simpleflying.com/why-is-amste...
