AMS Airport Code: Amsterdam Airport IATA & ICAO

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is stored for Amsterdam, Netherlands. ICAO EHAM. Timezone Europe/Amsterdam. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

AMS is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in Amsterdam, Netherlands (NL). The matching ICAO identifier is EHAM. Travel agents see AMS on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example AMSLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO EHAM is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is Europe/Amsterdam. This code page explains how AMS is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for Netherlands: none stored in this country slice. Related IATA city code in this dataset: AMS. To turn a booked PNR that contains AMS into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

How to use this page

Confirm the three-letter token on the ticket or PNR is AMS, not a similar code.
Open the PNR parser and paste the full itinerary that contains AMS.
Convert and check that city and timezone match this record.
Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for AMS.
Do not copy terminal or lounge claims from other websites onto this page. They are not stored here.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 AMSLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read AMS as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If AMS is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
