EC Eyes Traffic Distribution between Schiphol and Lelystad
Dutch government also looking at allowing secondary slot trading at Schiphol

The European Commission is asking airlines and other stakeholders to comment on proposed rules suggested by the Dutch government for the distribution of flights between Amsterdam Schiphol and Lelystad airports. Lelystad is currently the country’s busiest general aviation airport but is preparing to accommodate “large” commercial traffic starting in 2020 to free up capacity at Schiphol. The Dutch government formally informed Brussels of its draft decree establishing the traffic distribution rule (TDR) last month and asked the EU executive to approve the proposal.
