Peter Penseel, president of Delta Airlines Cargo, has joined the supervisory board of Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST), the second largest cargo hub in the Netherlands.

Penseel has over 30 years of experience in airfreight, including senior roles at Qatar Airways, DHL Global Forwarding, UTi and CEVA Logistics.

Schiphol Nederland NV and the Province of Limburg both joined as shareholders of NV HBLM in 2023 and have decided to appoint Penseel as a fourth member of the supervisory board to bolster MST’s commitment to its cargo growth and objectives.

Jonas van Stekelenburg, chief executive at MST, said: “Maastricht Airport is looking to the future with a new chief executive, Joos Meijs, joining next month and a robust plan for further developing our cargo services.

“Peter’s solid track record in airfreight adds weight to our new supervisory board and we look forward to his help in driving new initiatives for our cargo offering.”

MST has a new management structure following investment from the Royal Schiphol Group, owners of Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

The supervisory board, which is tasked with steering future growth at the airport, is made up of experts in various disciplines within aviation and business, including Frans Weekers, Angelique Palmen and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’s Kjell Kloosterziel.
