Malaysia Airlines (MH) has chosen Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST) as its latest destination for a weekly full freighter cargo service with the first inbound flight set to arrive from Kuala Lumpur in early April.

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

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

“Our new runway and close partnership with AMS are among the many reasons we can offer MH a great option to fly inbound and outbound cargo to and from.

“Our location, high-performing team, and efficiency are widely known to attract cargo flights, but being part of RSG is accelerating our growth and popularity within Europe as a top cargo destination.”
