Turkish Cargo has returned to Maastricht Aachen Airport with twice-weekly flights carrying flowers and other perishables.
The Quito-Miami-Maastricht-Istanbul flights will take advantage of the airport’s certification as an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO), which allows goods to move faster through customs due to strict security procedures and requirements.
Turkish Cargo chose to restart Maastricht services because of its efficient ground handling services.
Dean Boljuncic, Head of Commercial Development at Maastricht Aachen Airport, says, “We are proud of our team’s efforts to earn this reputation for excellent handling that is seeing Turkish cargo return to Maastricht; to be competitive we rely on our dedicated team of cargo specialists to offer flexibility and high-quality service.”
Royal Schiphol Group took a 40% stake in Maastricht Aachen Airport in 2023.
