Wednesday 17 July 2024 marks the 10-year anniversary of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 disaster. On this day, the disaster will be remembered during the national commemoration ceremony at the monument in Vijfhuizen.
Published on: 4 July 2024
At the ceremony we will observe a two-minute silence to remember those who lost their lives. To make this possible, it was decided, in consultation with the MH17 Families Foundation, to pause air traffic on the Polderbaan Runway (close to the monument) between 15:00 and 15:45.
Other runways
Due to the ceremony taking place, it is possible that air traffic will temporarily make use of different runways than usual. We kindly ask for your understanding.
