Forum for all matters concerning Amsterdam-Schiphol airport (and control zone, including heliport). Customary language is Dutch, but English is also accepted.
The Slot Coordinator has released the latest allocation of AMS slots for Summer 2011:
NEW airline slot requests:
- Air Europa = slots for daily flights
- Azerbaijan Airlines = 2x weekly
- Belle Air (Albania) = daily slots
- Brussels Airlines = multiple daily
- MAT Airlines (Skopje) = peak summer only

QR from 226 to 558; will it finally happen (A330) ?
Als die slots zijn tov zomer 2010, dan kunnen ze best voor de 77F zijn. Want vorig jaar zijn ze pas halverwege de zomer naar DOH en ORD gaan vliegen met de 77F. Aangezien er volgens mij nog meer 77Fs moeten komen, komen er misschien nog wel meer bestemmingen bij.

Maar A330s mogen van mij ook hoor !
Er komt nog 1 777F bij.
Just heard via reliable source QR postponed plans for AMS pax flight u.f.n. Main target now is to boost destinations which currently are on 4-5 freq per week to daily and daily destinations to double daily. This is now resulting in a capacity constraint. So also for next winter no plans...
Press release from the Qatar AW site (dated 16 January 2011) more or less confirms the message of Ton. Lots of capacity increases and some new destinations (like Brussels). More capacity increases have already been announced since then (like Singapore to double daily).

- FLR 07:25 - AMS 09:30 IG 0331 A319 Mon, Thu, Fri, Sun

- AMS 19:30 - FLR 21:25 IG 0336 A319 daily
- AMS 20:30 - FLR 22:20 AZ 0117 A319 daily = NEW
This will probably result in the end of KLM's codeshare with MeridianaFly.
As expected Meridiana Fly has announced the withdrawal from the FLR-AMS-FLR route. Starting Summer 2011 Meridiana has lost KL as a codeshare partner to the new operations of Alitalia.
In addition to operating the Airbus A330-200 on its new route Guangzhou-Amsterdam, China Southern has now announced it will replace the daily B777-200 on CAN-PEK-AMS-PEK-CAN with the Airbus A330-200 as well. So AMS will see 2x CZ A330s on passenger services and 2x B777Fs on cargo flights from PVG and CAN.
- CAN dep. 10:00 - arr. 12.50 PEK 14:20 - arr. AMS 18:35 CZ 345 A330-200 daily
- AMS dep. 20:55 - arr. 12:40 PEK 14.30 - arr. CAN 17.45 CZ 346 A330-200 daily

In addition, the FedEx B757 flight will not be starting before 29 August.
The Brussels Airlines slots are requested for two daily morning flights, scheduled one hour after each other starting June 5th. Seems unlikely that these will actually be used. They have an history of requesting (and not using) slots in AMS.
