General
Situated in the southern part of The Netherlands, Maastricht-Aachen Airport (or Beek as it is called locally), is a nice airport with a variety of traffic including quite a lot of cargo flights. Among the latter are scheduled services by Cargolux, Royal Jordanian and Turkish Airlines. Additionally, the GPA paint shop and the Schreiner maintenance hangar are always good for some exotic birds. The airfield also houses a good amount of GA aircraft and visitors for Maas and Samco.
Layout
The airfield has a north-south runway. The terminal and cargo are on the west side. Maintenance and flying schools are on the east side.
Getting There
Highway A2 runs directly along the western perimeter giving easy access by car. There is a regular bus service to and from the train stations in Maastricht and Sittard, and an Interliner (fast bus) service via Maastricht to Aachen.
