Schiphol takes a majority stake in Maastricht Airport

Schiphol Group plans to increase its stake in Maastricht Aachen Airport to 80%, investing an additional €33 million. The airport, facing financial losses, is the second largest in the Netherlands for cargo but struggles with competition from nearby airports. Limburg's provincial government supports the sale, retaining a 20% stake. The final decision rests with the Provincial States, expected next month. Despite challenges, including recent losses and renovation impacts, Schiphol aims to leverage its expertise to enhance the airport's operations and sustainability.
