According to the Dutch slot website, Eastern have requested, and have been allocated 526 slots at Amsterdam Schiphol for the summer season. If an airlines applies for slots, do they have to use them? Can anyone clear this up, or is it just a mistake on the website?

From what I remember from looking on there it was a charter series to somewhere in Croatia (iirc) with the Saab 2000's

This is from the dutch slot co-ordination website
A AMS T37831 28MAY 27OCT 1234560 050 S20 ZZJ ZZJ 0800
D AMS T37832 28MAY 27OCT 1234560 050 S20 0840 ZZJ ZZJ
A AMS T37838 28MAY 26OCT 1234507 050 S20 ZZJ ZZJ 1650
D AMS T37839 28MAY 26OCT 1234507 050 S20 1730 ZZJ ZZJ
Some valuable peak time slots there - but where is ZZJ?

ZZJ?
Perhaps a code for "holding" a slot while a schedule is worked out? Might depend on the other end of the flight if that is to a regulated airport where applicable slots may not be available?

Which regional airports do not have an AMS link and a decently-sized market that would put up with Eastern's high fares ?
How about one of the well-off off-shore markets that currently lack access to a fully-fledged international hub r are only served by point2point LCCs.... ?

Guernsey & Jersey would bite Easterns' hand off to operate to AMS & even ZRH. The islnds used to have a daily Saab 2000 flight to ZRH which had good pax loads but was withdrawn due to Swiss' finanacial state.
The business community here would pay high fares for the convenience of a direct service.

Depnds on the frequency and times. I doubt business passengers (Eastern's market) would be interested in a once daily service, but a double daily service (breakfast/early evening) might be of interest to them and could well force Eastern out of the market, unless T3 have some contracts that could keep the route going

I know at the moment that T3 isn't doing great from EMA, and the amount of flights that are late or cancelled is just getting silly now. When I last spoke to my friend at baby it would be a twice a day service.

Eastern have reduced their frequencies on the EMA route, and to be honest I don't think EMA is a high yield airport when you consider all the other airlines at the airport are either low-cost or charter. bmibaby would do well on a twice daily ABZ route from EMA, but there is a need for an additional based aircraft so I can't see it happening in the very close future, but have heard it mulled.

You know, when I saw the slot times, I thought about Inverness. However, are the times in GMT?, because an 8am local time arrival into AMS would mean a departure from INV of around 0510am, which is waaay earlier than the majority of KLM's UK departures.
