In the Netherlands, Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST) will see Malaysia Airlines (MH) freighter cargo service begin with the first inbound flight set to arrive from Kuala Lumpur this month.

The scheduled weekly flight will use an A330F and make MST only the second airport in Europe that MH flies to, after Schiphol Amsterdam Airport (AMS).

“This is an important opportunity for MST, as since Royal Schiphol Group (RSG) invested in 40 per cent of the airport last year, we have seen our operations consistently growing,” said Jonas Van Stekelenburg, ceo MST.

RSG invested in a 40 per cent stake in MST last year, with the other 60 per cent held by the region, the province of Limburg.

Since then, both shareholders have invested EUR30 million in the new runway, which was renewed last year, and MST are currently investing more than EUR40 million in further upgrades to the infrastructure and hardware of the airport.

MH is the second airline to confirm business with MST this year after Royal Jordanian Airlines.

It returned after the renewal of its air fleet.
