EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Introduction
This Order is part of the traffic distribution rules. It elaborates on the rules laid down in
the Schiphol and Lelystad Airports (Traffic Distribution) Decree. It first designates
transfer flights and then point-to-point flights.
Transfer flights
Flights are designated as transfer flights on the basis of their destination. All flights to
destinations listed in schedule 1 to the Order are designated as transfer flights.
Pursuant to this Order, destinations are listed in schedule 1 only if they satisfy the
following two criteria:
a. an average transfer percentage of all flights departing from Schiphol Airport of at
least 10%, measured over the five calendar years preceding publication of the
designation;
b. more than 10 flights per year in the three years preceding publication of the
designation.
Re a.
The transfer percentage is a distinguishing criterion because transfer flights contribute to
Schiphol Airport’s hub function. Transfer flights are particularly important to Schiphol
Airport on account of the limited domestic market. The existence of transfer flights
enables, for instance, the profitable operation of long-haul intercontinental flights.
The transfer percentage is known because air carriers that use Schiphol Airport are
obliged to provide the airport with their passenger loading figures for every flight. A
distinction is made between transfer passengers and non-transfer passengers. The
operator charges a different fee for each group (transfer or non-transfer) independently
of the traffic distribution rules.
Re b.
Finally, a minimum frequency is specified. A total frequency of less than 10 flights per
year for a particular destination is so low that it often concerns diverted flights.
Point-to-point flights
Point-to-point flights are also designated on the basis of their destination. Point-to-point
flights are the mirror image, as it were, of transfer flights. All flights to destinations
listed in schedule 2 to the Order are designated as point-to-point flights.
AVT18/IW126397C 16
Destinations are listed in schedule 2 to the Order if they satisfy the following two
criteria:
a. an average transfer percentage of all flights departing from Schiphol Airport of
less than 10%, measured over the five calendar years preceding publication of
the designation;
b. more than ten flights per year in the three years preceding publication of the
designation.
It should be noted that the above criteria are applied consistently to all destinations. A
flight is designated as a transfer flight or a point-to-point flight regardless of the air
carrier concerned.
New destinations will be included in one of the above lists if they satisfy the set criteria.
New destinations can be served from Schiphol Airport using slots that do not fall under
the scope of the traffic distribution rules.
Under the Schiphol and Lelystad Airports (Traffic Distribution) Decree, destinations are
designated every two years. The destinations must be announced at least one year
before publication. Furthermore, air carriers will be consulted before publication.
Air carriers will thus know which destinations they can serve for a period of two years
and will also know at least one year in advance what changes will be made for the
following two-year period.
Entry into force
This Order is part of the traffic distribution rules and is inseparable from the Schiphol
and Lelystad Airports (Traffic Distribution) Decree. Its entry into force is accordingly
linked to the Decree’s entry into force.
THE MINISTER OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND WATER MANAGEMENT
