Hmm, could you please elaborate on that? I've been looking but the Winter and new Summer schedule have the same number of flights scheduled at the moment. Are you saying that they had originally scheduled 3 extra flights on top of that for S20?

Because that is the exact same thing that they did last year. The scheduled them, they were bookable, and then they canceled all of the extra flights at some point.

My expectation is that this is related to the slot issues at AMS. Basically AMS is at capacity and getting new slots is very difficult. Airlines can apply for more slots, but at some point most of them will be rejected. This is one of the reasons for more and more airlines switching to widebody aircraft when flying to AMS...even if only within Europe. Obviously that's not an option for A3 though..
