The History of Maastricht Aachen Airport

Plans to build an airport on the grounds of Maastricht Aachen Airport’s current location were formulated as early as 1919. But as other locations were also under discussion, reaching an agreement took a long time and delayed construction. With the outbreak of the Second World War, plans were put aside. Eventually, in 1944, the American military took over construction of the airport and used it primarily as a base for Allied troops under the code name Airfield Yankee 44. After the war’s end, control of the airport was given over to the Netherlands. The first civilian flight took off from Maastricht Aachen Airport in September 1946.

A series of renovations and modernisations took place in the following decades, including several extensions of the runway. By the 1980s, all of the old buildings had been replaced or renovated. The airport brought its technology up to date with the installation of an Instrument Landing System in 1967. Since the airport’s privatisation in 2004, airport operator Maastricht Aachen Airport BV has made investment in infrastructure expansion a priority. Today, the airport welcomes more than 175,000 passengers on over 19,000 flight movements annually. Airfreight also accounts for much of the traffic to the airport with nearly 60,500 tonnes per year.
