Maastricht Aachen Airport unveils upgraded runway
Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST) unveiled its newly renovated runway at a launch event held at the airport on 30 June 2023.
The second largest cargo hub in the Netherlands has invested EUR 35.3 million to upgrade the airstrip as part of a plan to extend its operational length to 2,750 m by January 2025.
The eight-week renovation was part of Maastricht Aachen Airport’s overall infrastructure development plan to invest EUR 100 million in the airport over the coming years. Sustainability was the key theme of the ceremony, with an electric plane used to officially open the runway.
Cargo operations have now returned at MST, with Turkish Cargo operating five flights a week out of the hub. Royal Jordanian and Emirates Skycargo have also continued their operations at the airport, both running two flights each week. (cj)
