Turkish Cargo Returns to Maastricht Aachen Airport

Turkish Cargo Returns to Maastricht Aachen Airport

Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST) has welcomed back Turkish Cargo with the resumption of its twice-weekly Quito-Miami-Maastricht-Istanbul route. The airline cited MST’s top-tier ground handling services and operational efficiency as key factors behind its decision.

The flights will facilitate the transport of flowers, perishables, and general cargo, benefiting from MST’s status as an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO). This certification enables faster customs clearance due to the airport’s stringent security protocols and streamlined processes.

“Our dedicated in-house cargo hub was selected for its fast and efficient service, operating as a one-stop-shop that enhances our handling capacity and tailored logistics solutions,” said Dean Boljuncic, Head of Commercial Development at MST.

“We take great pride in our team’s commitment to excellence, which has once again attracted Turkish Cargo to Maastricht. To remain competitive, we rely on our specialized cargo professionals to provide flexibility and high-quality service.”

In 2023, Royal Schiphol Group acquired a 40% stake in MST, further strengthening the airport’s cargo capabilities. Historically, MST has been a key hub for delivering shipments to Aalsmeer, home to the world’s largest flower auction, with speed comparable to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

MST’s strategic location next to major highways and minimal dwell times enable flowers to be transported within two hours of landing, ensuring rapid distribution to markets.

“Our customer-centric approach, operational excellence, and strong partnerships have been instrumental in bringing Turkish Cargo back,” added Boljuncic. “Two years ago, we were honored with an excellence award from Turkish Airlines, and it’s rewarding to see the airline return as a testament to our service quality.”

With no slot restrictions and a prime logistical position, MST aims to sustain steady cargo volume growth throughout the year.
