Still QR flights but less. , as the announcement of pax flts is imminent , I expect they had to surrender cargoslots in order to operate the pax flts as the bilateral between NL and Qatar is full. Another result of this is that AMS bound flts are partly operating ex LGG

Unless the to be started 3 weekly DOH-EBB-AMS-DOH flights won't start, this would mean just one slot pair less, but still an increase in overall frequency between DOH and AMS.

CHINA SOUTHERN is reducing Beijing – Amsterdam operations from daily A330-300 to 5x/weekly from 01AUG13 to 26OCT13.
(so no CZ A333 on Monday and Wednesday in this period and reports also mention some indivudual cancellations of the same flight in July)

CZ345 PEK0050 – 0540AMS 333 x13
CZ346 AMS1340 – 0510+1PEK 333 x13

QR Cargo has announced the airline will change its 2x/weekly B77F route from DOH-AMS-ORD to DOH-MXP-ORD.

From 1 July 2013 the airline will seize to operate the AMS-ORD-AMS route.

The article below seems to suggest that the QR Cargo will continue DOH-AMS-ORD and that the new flight is in addition to the flights via AMS.

Heel eenvoudig beredeneerd:
332 = 217 = 1519 per week bij daily
333 = 283 = 1415 per week bij 5x weekly

Dit houdt in dat er een capaciteitsdaling van 7% is ten opzichte van de oorspronkelijke capaciteit terwijl er maar liefst 29% minder wordt gevlogen op deze route.

CORRECTION:

QR Cargo has now released its final freighter schedule for July 2013 and it turns out the airline plans to operate 2x B777F simultaneously to Chicago; one via AMS and one via MXP:

B777-200F:
Saturday QR6059 DOH Dep: 12:30 - AMS - ORD Arr: 22:05
Saturday QR6107 DOH Dep. 15:20 - MXP - ORD Arr: 01:25+

B777-200F:
Wednesday - DOH Dep: 14:15 - AMS - ORD Arr: 23:50
Wednesday - DOH Dep: 16:35 - MXP - ORD Arr: 02:20+

So no changes for AMS, sorry for the confusion.

The Qatar Cargo press release from 5 June clearly states the airline will double its capacity to the USA, supplementing their existing DOH-AMS-ORD route:

Carrier Adds Two New Freighter Services To US City To Supplement Twice-Weekly Dedicated Chicago Flights.

Doha, QATAR – Qatar Airways Cargo will begin a new freighter service between the US and Italy – a traditional and well established trade route that will double the freight capacity of the Doha-based carrier’s cargo services out of the United States.

The new service will double the airline’s freighter capacity out of Chicago, from where it already operates a twice-weekly cargo service to Amsterdam. All flights continue onto Doha, capital of the State of Qatar.

Correct, but in the mean time, new slots have been requested for extra cargo flights operated by A330-300F

QR 6542/3 1------ 33X 2100-2230
QR 6542/3 --3---- 33X 1215-1335
QR 6542/3 ------7 33X 1825-1955

Flights are route Doha-Entebbe-Amsterdam-Doha and should start on 2nd of June.

It seems that two flights have been moved to LGG and one is now DOH-AMS-DOH instead of via EBB.
