Aerial data acquisition at Shiphol airport

High-resolution aerial images with 4 cm resolution

In 2016 BSF Swissphoto was commissioned for the first time to capture  aerial photographs with a resolution of 4 cm for two years in the  Schiphol region. A total area of 900 km2 had to be surveyed, for which  40 flying hours were planned.

This area means a great challenge in  terms of flight conditions, as Schiphol Airport is one of the busiest  airports in Europe, with take-offs and landings every minute. The flight  windows are therefore very short and can only be flown in strict  coordination with the Dutch aviation security authority.

BSF  Swissphoto thus had to be highly flexible and efficient in terms of  mobilisation and flight realisation. The company mastered these  challenges very well and was repeatedly commissioned with the flights in  2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
