It seems AZAL has postponed the launch of Baku-Amsterdam service again. All flights scheduled from 14AUG11 onwards have been zeroed out. Does anyone know if they have firm plans to serve AMS?
Can somebody confirm that AirBridge Cargo (RU) will move from Aviapartner to Menzies as there handler?
I heard the rumors a while ago but now I saw an advertisement in Metro that Menzies is looking for a lot of new employees due to a new big customer (which could be RU)

AirBridgeCargo has launched another new 3 times a week flight. This one goes from Maastricht/Amsterdam-Yekaterinburg-Krasnoyarsk-Zhengzhou.
Departures are said to be from Maastricht and Schiphol, so I'm not totally sure what the total frequency originating from EHAM is.

I believe these are not extra frequencies, but reroutings of existing routes. For example on SAT 13-08-2011 flight RU625/658 routed PVG-MOW-AMS-SVX and on SAT 20-08-2011 it routed CGO-MOW-AMS-SVX as RU623/658.
Some MH cargo flights from late September 2011 on the route KUL-SHJ-AMS v.v. will see the brandnew A330-200F aircraft, which makes them the first airline to operate this freighter to AMS.
I have no info on flighttimes, but according my source the flights on Saturdays will see the new A330F's.

One of the last timetable changes in Summer 2011, China Southern has added a new B777F freighter destination - the city of Chongqing - on two of its 5x/weekly flights to Shanghai from AMS:
CHINA Southern Airlines has launched twice-weekly freighter flights from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (the Netherlands) to China. The 777F services will land in Chongqing, a major centre for the production of PCs and laptops, and home to manufacturing plants of nine of the world’s leading brands.
China Southern’s existing services run from Amsterdam to Shanghai and Guangzhou, and bring to nine the total number of destinations in China served by freighter aircraft direct from Schiphol.
China Southern is one of seven freighter operators now serving China and Hong Kong from AMS, the other airlines being AirBridgeCargo, Air France-KLM, Cathay Pacific, China Cargo Airlines, Jade Cargo and Martinair.
“Our links with China will develop further when China Eastern joins SkyTeam, as this would allow both China Cargo Airlines (part-owned by China Eastern, and already serving AMS Schiphol) and Air France-KLM to tap into China Eastern’s domestic network as well,” Schiphol Cargo’s senior vice-president Enno Osinga said.
Amsterdam Schiphol maintains third place among European cargo airports, according to Airport Council International rankings.
