What this investigation is
Schiphol’s Panorama Terrace places aircraft observation on the terminal roof. Its most tangible object is PH-OFE, a real KLM Fokker 100 preserved so visitors can step aboard, enter the cockpit and sit in original seats.
What the sources establish
- Schiphol describes the Panorama Terrace as being on the terminal roof and accessible without an airline ticket.
- Access to the terrace is free, subject to current airport opening and access conditions.
- The aircraft is a real KLM Fokker 100 with registration PH-OFE.
- Schiphol says visitors can enter the cockpit and sit in the original passenger seats.
- The airport records the aircraft’s first flight as 2 March 1989 and its last flight as 19 February 2010.
What to notice
- The aircraft is no longer an operating vehicle, but its cabin, cockpit and seating retain the physical logic of use.
- Its rooftop position connects a preserved aircraft with views of current airport operations.
- Confirm terrace access before travelling; airport construction, weather or security conditions can change.
