Forum for all matters concerning Amsterdam-Schiphol airport (and control zone, including heliport). Customary language is Dutch, but English is also accepted.
Just been informed AMS will receive tomorrow King Hassan from Marocco. A B744 and 763 are expected. Both flights were supposed to go to RTM but were declined due to working progress on the ramp. Max size that can be accommodated at RTM is now cat C, so up to A320/738. No clue on the times yet.

King Hassan passed away some years ago and Mohammed VI is now king.. just a small detail (Thanks KMwecare )
Aircraft involded should be CN-RGA and CN-ROW, both ac currently in LHBP..
Thanks for the info. So now we know the reason for the two Morocco airforce Hercules at Rotterdam. They bring stuff (like carptets) for the visit. Curious if they brought the car as well.
CN-RGA and CN-ROW confirmed to be related to state visit in Prague and Budapest so likely these will show up in Amsterdam.
Gulfstream CM-AMS was seen in Moscow, Prague and Budapest recently. All these places were visited by king. So keep an eye on this aircraft as well. Might go to Rotterdam (despite its registration)
I am really wondering about this what seems to be an ad-hoc visit. There is not a single message on internet suggesting a visit of the king to the Netherlands.
Maybe just a shopping visit. Who knows.
