Air Cargo Netherlands has warned that Schiphol Airport’s plans to increase rates next year will disproportionally impact freighter airlines.
The Dutch airport last week announced that it would increase airline charges by 37% over the coming three years in response to high inflation and increased interest rates.
The charges will increase by 41% next year, 5% in 2026 and then decrease by 7.5% in 2027, it said.
However, the charges will favour those airlines that operate quieter aircraft. The charges for quieter aircraft are going to be less expensive, while older, noisier planes are going to cost airlines more. Night flights will also be subjected to additional charges.
