Malaysia freighter to fly to Maastricht

[ April 8, 2024   //   ]

Malaysia Airlines (MH) has chosen Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST) as the destination for a weekly full freighter service from Kuala Lumpur. Thefirst flight is due to arrive in early April, operated by the relatively fuel efficient and quiet MH Airbus A330F.

It will be the carrier’s second European destination, the other being Maastricht’s sister gateway, Schiphol.

Royal Schiphol Group (RSG) took a 40% stake in MST last year, and, together the province of Limburg, which holds the remaining 60%, has invested €30 million (US$23.8m) in renewing the runway, along with over €40 million in further upgrades to infrastructure and hardware.

MH is the second airline to confirm business with MST this year; Royal Jordanian Airlines has resumed services after a hiatus due to a fleet renewal program.
