About Maastricht Aachen Airport

Maastricht Aachen Airport is located in the province of Limburg, in the South Limburg district near Beek, around 9 kilometres from Maastricht city centre. Opened to civil air traffic in 1945, the airport is operated by Maastricht Aachen Airport, with the Province of Limburg and Royal Schiphol Group as key shareholders. It serves as a compact regional gateway for the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion, supporting passenger travel, cargo logistics, business aviation and regional connectivity.

The airport has one clear and efficient passenger terminal rather than separate domestic and international terminals, with facilities arranged for both domestic flights and international flights. Its renovated terminal offers check-in desks, baggage drop-off points, security, gates, parking, car rental, catering, shops and free Wi-Fi, while the 2,500-metre runway also supports cargo and private aviation. Passenger volumes are modest, at around 230,000 travellers in a recent full year, with traffic typically rising in spring and summer as leisure and holiday routes increase.

Airlines and tour operators operating from Maastricht Aachen Airport include Ryanair, Corendon and Wizz Air, with seasonal programmes also linked to carriers such as Transavia and TUI fly on selected routes. Main direct destinations are mainly international leisure and visiting-friends-and-relatives markets, including Alicante, Girona, Bari, Zadar, Crete, Zakynthos, Antalya, Tuzla, Lublin and Podgorica, while regular domestic demand is limited compared with cross-border travel. Overall demand for flight tickets is driven by travellers in Limburg, nearby Belgium and western Germany who value a smaller airport, shorter walking distances and direct access to popular European destinations.
