Russland truer Nederland med å utestenge KLM

Etter en konflikt som oppstod i kjølvannet av at AirBridgeCargo ble fratatt flere slots på AMS, truer Russland nå med å utestenge KLM og andre nederlandske selskap fra russisk luftrom, hvilken vil gå hardt utover deler av Asiatrafikken til KLM.

Tilsynelatende har trusselen ført frem, da det ser ut som om KLM nå vil gi noen slots til AirBridgeCargo

Netherlands passenger and cargo airline KLM is to share its slots at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport with Air Bridge Cargo (ABC), according to a Russian-language report by the TASS news agency, quoting the Russian Federation’s Ministry of Transport.

Moscow-based TASS said that the aviation authorities of the two countries are negotiating on this issue, quoting the Ministry of Transport.

The move follows earlier press reports that Russia was threatening to close its airspace to all Netherlands-registered aircraft in retaliation to Schiphol’s axing of ABC slots at the airport, due to capacity constraints which has seen other cargo carriers move to Brussels and Liege airports.
