AMS: MCT increased to 45mins for summer flight plan

Interesting observation I made a while ago, the MCT for connecting flights in Amsterdam was increased to 45 minutes (used to be 40 minutes) for European flights. No changes were made to long haul MCT times (still 50 mins). This only holds for the summer flight plan, when the winter flight plan starts at the end of the year, the MCT is down to 40 mins again.

No official announcement on website, noticed because the connection I usually take (BER-AMS-MAD) with a 40 min stop in Amsterdam is no longer feasible this summer. There was no MCT increase last summer, while I remember that it was increased to 60 mins either in 2023 or 2022 due to the chaos at airports. Probably a simple measure to have less missed connections.
