INTRODUCTION

Maastricht Aachen airport has its roots in the Second World War when the US Engineer Corps created

Advanced Landing Ground Y-44 as a front line airport for fighter bombers and recce aircraft. Directly after the

war is was still busy as the road network of the Netherlands was severely damaged. But when car travel

became easier it was decided to keep the airport open and to turn it into a regional airport. It was steadily

upgraded and EUROCONTROL decided to us the airport as its base. It’s now doing very well with growing

passenger and freight amounts.

The moment the low cost airlines started to operate the airport got a huge boost. Located close to the Belgium

and German border and close to many major cities it attracted companies like RyanAir and GermanWings. To

increase the multinational idea the airport was renamed from “Vliegveld Beek” to Maastricht-Aachen Airport.

With good success as more than half the passengers are now German.
