Located south of Amsterdam (52°18′31″N, 4°45′50″E), Schiphol aims to be a European mainport, competing in passenger and cargo throughput with Heathrow International Airport in London, UK, Frankfurt International Airport in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Roissy, France. In 2004, Schiphol ranked fourth in Europe in terms of passenger traffic with 42,541,000 passengers, behind London Heathrow (67,344,000), Paris Charles de Gaulle (51,260,000) and Frankfurt International Airport (51,098,000). Schiphol has 5 main runways, plus 1 used mainly by general aviation aircraft. The "fifth runway" (really the sixth) was completed in 2003. Plans have already been made for a seventh runway. The airport is built as one large terminal split into three large departure halls, the most recent having been completed in 1994, which converge again once airside. There are plans for further terminal expansion. Because of the intense traffic and high landing and parking fees at Schiphol, more and more holiday-carriers have moved some of their flights to smaller airports, such as Groningen, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and Maastricht.

NOTE: These are not definite; very few airlines have a daily hall; this is based on regularity. The Fokker aircraft manufacturer started a factory near Schiphol airport in 1951. Lyrics often contain political, social and economic themes as well as aesthetic elements, and so can connote messages which are culturally significant. When civil aircraft started to make use of the field, it was often called Schiphol-les-bains. For example, some lyrics can be considered a form of social commentary. Schiphol started early last century as a military airbase, consisting only of a few barracks and a mudpool serving as platform/runways. Lyrics can be studied from an academic perspective. Thalys International operates a TGV rail service between Amsterdam, Schiphol, The Hague HS, Rotterdam, Berchem Rail Station (Antwerp), Midi Rail Station (Brussels) and Gare du Nord in Paris. Even so, such usage became increasingly common (probably because of the association between lyrics and the plural form words), and is predominant in modern usage. The Dutch Railways operate a major passenger train station directly underneath the passenger terminal complex. The plural lyrics was used only in referring to the words of multiple songs; to refer to the words of a single song as its lyrics instead of its lyric was considered erroneous. . The word lyric came to be used for the "words of a popular song"; this meaning was recorded in 1876 [1]. Its base is actually 5 m below sea level. A lyric poem is one that expresses a subjective, personal point of view. The Schiphol ATC tower, with a height of 101 m, was the tallest in the world when constructed in 1991. From the Greek, a lyric was originally a song sung with a lyre. Schiphol is the world's lowest major commercial airport. There are many websites that feature lyrics to songs. There is a regular-size supermarket, Food Village, that is open until midnight seven days a week. In such cases, there is a tendency to emphasize the form, articulation, meter, and symmetries of the expressions. Schiphol Plaza is the shopping center before customs, hence not only for air travellers, but also for people who just change train here, etc. Some lyrics are so abstract as to be completely unintelligible. Schiphol has large shopping areas as a source of revenue and as an additional attractant to air-carrier passengers. The meaning conveyed in lyrical verses can be explicit or implicit. Schiphol is the home base of KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines), Martinair and Transavia. Sometimes, however, music is adapted to or written for a song or poem that has already been written. Because of the intense traffic and high landing and parking fees at Schiphol, more and more holiday-carriers have moved some of their flights to smaller airports, such as Groningen, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and Maastricht. Lyrics can be written as the accompanying music is composed, or added afterwards. There are plans for further terminal expansion. Lyrics are the words in songs.
