Amsterdam Schiphol may continue to experience a freighter slot crisis into winter 2018/19 after "differences of interpretation" over a local rule for cargo.

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport saw its cargo volumes decline by 2.6% in 1H 2018 as a result of fewer freighter services. The airport handled a total of 844,317 tons of cargo during 1H 2018.

Air Bridge Cargo should leave AMS, heading to LUX soon, if I well understood.

Weird article.
ABC has a MoU with LGG.

They won't leave Amsterdam: they will only remove some flights from AMS to LUX "...where they will concentrate their activities..."

Indeed Passenger,

And not only in MAA they reduce the flights for the heavy cargo's but today the city of Maastricht decided also, or better saying "their wish", is that AMS cannot grow anymore till 2023. So they prolonged the time already from 2020 till 2023 till there is more clarity about noise, emissions, etc

Regarding MAA, this is an option that ET and EK can move again some of their flights to BRU. But only the most modern ones, as BRU don't want noisy, old and poluting planes. So the B777 could be

Regarding the pax flights, this is maybe also an opportunity, who knows, but it will be very interesting the next coming years as BRU has still space during certain times of the day....

Only fully loaded 747 need the extra runway length, the impact may be limited. Its a political show.
But airlines get the message anyway.

The Dutch Parliament wants that the slots now used for AMS-BRU-AMS are used for 'more valuable routes':
