Slots Schiphol

AirBridgeCargo (RU, Ulyanovsk Vostochny) has confirmed that it has lost slots at Amsterdam Schiphol Schiphol airport, reports The Loadstar. The Russian freighter is now looking for alternative airports in Europe, most likely in Germany or Belgium.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Tuesday 17th March 2020: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’s (AMS) slot procedure has changed after Airport Coordination Netherlands (ACNL) temporarily lifted the Local Rule. Schiphol’s 40.000 additional aircraft slots are subject to meeting strict noise levels Schiphol Airport could gain an extra 40,000 aircraft slots to ease its capacity issues – providing it meets strict new government criteria on noise levels. Minister for Infrastructure and Water Management Cora van Nieuwenhuizen said more slots would be made available to the Dutch gateway if it showed a. Slot procedures at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol have been changed to provide capacity for freighter flights. Airport Coordination Netherlands (ACNL) has temporarily lifted the Local Rule 2 due to the coronavirus outbreak. The local rule at Schiphol is designed to provide sufficient ad hoc capacity for freighter airlines. While there are clearly a large number of online real money casinos to choose from, each casino has Ns Sloterdijk Schiphol their own stable of available games. You may be looking for a casino that is heavier on the side of slots titles, in which case you will find these Ns Sloterdijk Schiphol real money sites to your liking. Since the capacity is limited at Schiphol Airport, slots are required. Airlines need a slot for arrival (landing) and a slot for departure (take-off) to be able to operate at the airport.

'We are still in the process of negotiating the slots issue in Amsterdam but, regretfully, we can admit that ABC will definitely lose some of its current slots in Schiphol,' AirBridge Cargo told The Loadstar.

The freighter carrier has apparently fallen foul of the 80:20 rule, meaning it did not fly at least 80% of its flights as scheduled. This would normally be negotiable, but Schiphol has reached its 500,000 a year slot capacity, meaning it is operating under constraint. This rule obviously presents a problem to cargo companies which frequently need to adjust their schedules based on supply chain and logistics. ABC is lobbying for the adoption of 'local rules', with support from fellow freighter operators Cargolux, Kalitta Air, Emirates, Singapore Airlines and Qatar Airways.

Freight handling workers at Amsterdam are naturally worried about the loss of AirBridge Cargo and other freighters. The Netherlands Trade Union Confederation (FNV) has said that hundreds of jobs are at stake, and Menzies Aviation has already cut 101 positions.

'There are fewer slots for freight flights available, while the slots for passenger flights increase sharply,' an FNV member said. 'So the freight traffic has to divert to Maastricht or Belgium, and then we are left without work.'

AirBridge Cargo operates a fleet of seven B747-400(F) and eleven B747-8(F) aircraft and currently flies 21x weekly from Amsterdam to destinations in Russia and Europe with ten of these weekly flights originating in the United States and stopping in Amsterdam. It is not yet known how many of these will be cut, but it could be as many as fourteen. Another twenty airlines have regular cargo operations out of Schiphol, and their slots may also be at risk.

AMSTERDAM AIRPORT SCHIPHOL AD HOC SLOT ALLOCATION TEMPORARILY CHANGED TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT SLOTS TO FREIGHTERS

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Tuesday 17th March 2020: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’s (AMS) slot procedure has changed after Airport Coordination Netherlands (ACNL) temporarily lifted the Local Rule 2 (LR2) due to the global COVID-19 outbreak.

The purpose of LR2 at AMS is to provide sufficient ad hoc capacity for full freighter airlines, but ACNL said in the current “exceptional circumstance” caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, LR2 works “counter-productively”.

Under LR2, the number of slots available for reallocation is limited, but the temporary lifting of the rule frees up freight operations.

“In these difficult times, it is important that we work together to ensure that the supply chain keeps moving,” said Bart Pouwels, Head of Cargo, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

“The lifting of LR2 will enable us to operate temporarily more ad hoc full-freighter flights at AMS, which is much needed to offset the current decline in belly capacity.”

Effective immediately, ACNL will not use LR2 for ad hoc slots to be allocated up to and including 6th June 2020.

In addition, slots which have been handed back to the slot coordinator by passenger carriers who are not using them, are to be offered to full freighter operators first on an ad hoc basis until 6th June 2020.

ACNL said that due to the proposed temporary 80/20 waiver, which required airlines to use 80% of their slots or risk losing them, it expects a large number of slots to be handed back.

With this decision ACNL is aiming to provide sufficient slots in line with the purpose of LR2 and so that the necessary freight capacity is maintained in the general interest for goods transported to/from the Netherlands.
