A THY Turkish Airlines Airbus A330-200, registration TC-JOZ performing freight flight TK-6309 from Istanbul (Turkey) to Billund (Denmark), was enroute at FL400 over Germany when the crew decided to divert to Amsterdam (Netherlands) reporting a hydraulic failure. The crew advised they had lost several systems as result of the hydraulic failure suspecting they would need to use the emergency braking system for stopping the aircraft, had no nosewheel steering and would not be able to vacate the runway after landing. They needed the longest available runway and requested runway 18C at Schiphol Airport, the runway length was sufficient for them to stop the aircraft. The aircraft landed safely on runway 18C, tower reported seeing a puff of smoke during roll out, the crew reported it was a normal braking, they were fairly sure all tyres were intact all still showing pressure, however, it could be possible that hydraulic fluid may have leaked, their green hydraulic reservoir was showing empty. The aircraft was towed to the apron. A runway inspection showed no leaked fluids on the runway, emergency services reported evidence of a hydraulic leak on the #1 engine.
