Turkish Cargo Resumes Freighter Flights to Maastricht

Turkish Cargo is reintroducing freighter services to Maastricht Aachen Airport, tapping into the strategic advantages offered by the fast-moving European cargo hub. Beginning this month, the airline will operate two Boeing 777 freighter flights per week on the Quito–Miami–Maastricht–Istanbul route, carrying a mix of flowers, perishables, and general cargo.

This marks Turkish Cargo’s return to Maastricht after ceasing operations in September 2024. The decision to resume flights reflects the airport’s growing reputation as a speed-focused, cargo-optimized facility, particularly for sensitive and time-critical shipments like fresh flowers.

Speed, Proximity, and Efficiency Drive Decision

Maastricht’s competitive edge lies in its efficient customs processing, driven by its Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) status. The designation allows for goods to pass through customs with reduced delays, ensuring that high-value perishables move swiftly from tarmac to final destination. The airport’s proximity to the highway enables cargo to be trucked out within just two hours of landing — a performance on par with Amsterdam Schiphol, one of the world’s busiest cargo hubs.

Dean Boljuncic, head of commercial development at Maastricht, emphasized the airport’s cargo-handling strengths:

“Our specialized in-house cargo hub was chosen for its fast and efficient service, a one-stop shop model that bolsters our handling capacity and customized provisions. Our customer-orientated approach and operational excellence are qualities that we pride ourselves in.”

A Blooming Gateway for Florals and More

The timing of this move is especially relevant as flower shipments surge during spring months. Maastricht’s ability to quickly channel floral cargo to Aalsmeer’s global flower auction — the largest in the world — strengthens its strategic position in Europe’s perishable goods supply chain.

Turkish Cargo’s reintegration comes amid the airport’s broader goal to expand its cargo footprint in 2025. Maastricht’s lack of slot restrictions and low dwell times further support growth, offering airlines scheduling flexibility and seamless ground operations.

Outlook: A Growing Partnership

As global airfreight continues to shift toward agility and regional optimization, Turkish Cargo’s renewed commitment to Maastricht signals the importance of niche European hubs in the evolving logistics ecosystem. With its focus on perishable speed, customs efficiency, and infrastructure flexibility, Maastricht is positioning itself as a vital partner for carriers seeking reliability without congestion.
