Flevoland

Flevoland

Flevoland has a rich history, it is the product of the largest land reclamation project of all time; the Zuiderzee project!

A flood in 1916, gave the Dutch the impetus to close the Zuiderzee, the inland sea. The work was started in 1920 with the building of a dike that closed off the shallow bay in the northeast Netherlands. They drained lakes and the sea in order to create Flevoland, the largest Man-Made island in the world. Flevoland, a province, was established in 1986. Lelystad is the capital of the country’s twelfth province, which is home to 400,000 inhabitants. Thanks to its massive earthworks people say about the Netherlands that the world was created by God, but Holland was created by the Dutch.

Amsterdam helicopter flight

Lelystad Airport

Fly with us over historic defence bastions such as Naarden Vesting, Muiderslot and Pampus. Enjoy wonderful views of the canal network and the historic city centre of Amsterdam. Combined with Amsterdam Central station, where old meets new, the IJ river with its superb modern architecture and Amsterdam Noord which is currently undergoing development. We then fly on to the rugged countryside of the Oostvaardersplassen lakes and Lelystad, where we also circle above the Batavia VOC ship, a fantastic reconstruction of this piece of iconic Dutch history. The airspace above the city of Amsterdam is controlled by Schiphol Air Traffic Control. The result may be that air traffic control adjusts our route and that Amsterdam is at a greater distance than initially expected.
