Maastricht Aachen Airport adds three cargo flights to weekly schedule

Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST) has added three cargo flights to its weekly schedule following new agreements with airlines Turkish Cargo, and My Freighter.

From September, Turkish Cargo will add to its existing twice-weekly service with a Boeing 777 flight connecting Quito, Bogota, Miami, Istanbul, and the Netherlands, transporting flowers, vegetables, and other goods.

Uzbek airline, My Freighter, will operate a new, twice-weekly Boeing 767-300 full freighter service connecting Shanghai, Tashkent, Almaty, and the Netherlands.

My Freighter cargo will include e-commerce goods, automotive products, general cargo, and flowers.

Figures up to July 2025 indicate a 15 percent increase in cargo volumes at MST compared to the same period last year, driven in part by a series of Atlas Air charter flights, the arrival of Ethiopian Cargo, and the return of Turkish Cargo after a short absence.

“With the addition of My Freighter and the expansion of Turkish Cargo services, we expect this upward trend to continue for the rest of the year,” said Dean Boljuncic, Head of Commercial Development, Maastricht Aachen Airport.

“We are proud of our team that makes this growth possible - with our one-stop-shop model, ample capacity, and tailored services, we offer flexibility and high-quality service.

“MST’s team consistently shows the added value we provide to our customers through fast and flexible handling.

“Our speed is further enhanced by our AEO certification, which guarantees quick and secure customs clearance.”

Earlier this summer, Ethiopian Airlines signed a new contract with MST and operates twice weekly with a Boeing 777, carrying both perishables and general cargo. The airline connects Hong Kong, Addis Ababa, and Maastricht.
