“We are proud to present this award to Maastricht’s handling team and look forward to witnessing more of airport’s operational success.”

Turkish Cargo has expanded its operations at MST in recent years, with the airport currently upgrading its runway with plans to extend its operational length to 2,750 meters by 2025 to allow for larger freighter capacity.

“We’ve been working with Turkish Cargo for more than 25 years, and this award demonstrates the strength of this partnership and the quality of service that MST can offer,” said Jos Roeven, CEO, Maastricht Aachen Airport.

“Our entire team, from those in the warehouse and on the ramp to those in the office, have worked tirelessly and this is recognition of their dedication.”

Maastricht Aachen Airport serves as the European hub for Turkish Cargo along with other internationally renowned carriers including Emirates SkyCargo, Qatar Airways Cargo, SAUDIA, and Royal Jordanian.
