Freighter fees to rise by 29pc at Schiphol airport from April

AMSTERDAM Airport Schiphol is raising the charges for freighter flights by at least 29 per cent from April 1 2019.
The move means that the airport has significantly hiked fees for aging aircraft, with freighter operators looking at a 249 per cent rise for night take-offs, and paying 83 per cent more during the day.
Freighter operators are required to pay EUR1.96 (US$2.24) per 1,000 kilogrammes for a night-time take off in the most modern aircraft, or EUR1.30 per 1,000kg during the day, reported London's Loadstar.
The news follows progress on the 'local rule', which has the potential to offer freighter operators more ad hoc slots. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Public Works reversed an earlier decision to make no objections to the implementation of the rule.
It would give freighter operators priority for the first 25 per cent of unused slots that are to be re-allocated, as well as the ability for airlines to adjust their schedules so as not to fall foul of a rule removing historical rights to slots for delayed flights, a particular challenge for cargo flights.
Airport Coordination Netherlands has until November 30 to carry out a feasibility study before the ministry makes its final decision.
"The ministry judges that there are no legal objections and the rule is effective," explained CAN compliance director Ben Radstaak. "The last step is an assessment by the slot coordinator, which will be done this month.
"For all airlines, changing schedules will no longer lead to the loss of historic rights and there will be a better system of reallocating returned and unused slots during the season.
"The latter will be in a 25:75 ratio for full freighters and other aircraft, respectively."
