The contents of this page is for the responsibility of the Coordination Committee Netherlands.

At coordinated airports in the EU, Member States responsible shall ensure that a coordination committee is set up. The same coordination committee may be designated for more than one airport.

Coordination Committee Netherlands (CCN) is designated for the three coordinated airports:

• Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS);
• Eindhoven Airport (EIN);
• Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM).

Making proposals concerning or advise the airports, the coordinator and/or the Member State on the following:

• The possibilities for increasing the capacity of the airport or for improving its usage, including the coordination parameters in the airport’s capacity declaration;
• The methods of monitoring the use of allocated slots;
• Local guidelines for the allocation of slots or the monitoring of the use of allocated slots, taking into account, inter alia, possible environmental concerns;
• Improvements to traffic conditions prevailing at the airport in question;
• Serious problems encountered by new entrants;
• All questions relating to the capacity of the airport;
• Dealing with complaints from all who are entitled to be a CCN member.

The following are entitled to be a member of the Coordination Committee Netherlands:

• Air carriers using a coordinated airport regularly;
• Representative organizations of air carriers using a coordinated airport regularly;
• Representatives of general aviation companies using a coordinated airport regularly;
• The airport operators;
• Air Traffic Control (LVNL).

Many organizations that are entitled to CCN membership are actively participating in CCN meetings and receive relevant information on various relevant slot coordination issues.

New members can register via an email to [email protected], stating the intention of the organization to participate in the CCN, the name of the person(s) representing the organization and their contact details.

Questions concerning the CCN or its subcommittees CDSC and SPC can also be sent to the CNN Secretary via: [email protected].

All CCN members are requested to notify the CCN Secretary of any changes of representatives and/or contact details.

In 2020, the members of the CCN decided that the Chairperson and the Secretary of the CCN (together also referred to as the “Board of the CCN”) need to be independent of any of the CCN members. The CCN constitution was adjusted to accommodate this.

In the General Meeting in September 2020, the first independent chairman was elected. An independent secretary stepped on board in mid-2021. In 2026, a new independent chairman was elected. Also in 2026, the CCN Constitution was updated, as well as the Terms of Reference (ToR) of the CCN subcommittees CDSC and SPC.

In preparation of the capacity declarations, members of the CCN may participate in the Capacity Declaration Sub Committee (CDSC). The aim of this subcommittee is to discuss the capacity declarations of the coordinated airports and to prepare the discussion of the capacity declaration in the seasonal CCN meetings.

Participation in the CDSC is open for members and observers of the CCN and is voluntary, and may vary from season to season.

The objective of the Slot Performance Committee (SPC) is to advise the coordinator on any slot monitoring issues, with the objective of improving punctuality and reducing slot misuse. The SPC shall also guarantee a fair judgment of potential slot misuse.

The SPC members are selected by the CCN. Upon request, airline representatives may observe SPC meetings. The SPC usually meets on a quarterly basis.
