Schiphol Group Seeks Control of Maastricht Aachen Airport: Stake from 40 to 80 Percent Awaits Limburg Decision
Royal Schiphol Group announced on November 5 that it has offered to increase its stake in Maastricht Aachen Airport from 40 percent to 80 percent, with the Province of Limburg retaining a 20 percent shareholding. The transaction needs approval from the Provincial Council of Limburg and final agreements. Dutch media reported the deal involves an investment of about 33 million euros.
Schiphol Group acquired its 40 percent stake in 2023, with Limburg holding the other 60 percent. The airport is cargo-focused with passenger services, and Schiphol wants to strengthen its cargo specialisation. The airport is also due to accommodate part of Eindhoven Airport's traffic during its closure in 2027.
Schiphol Group Chief Financial Officer Robert Carsouw said the bigger stake would strengthen the group's position at the airport and that it will work with regional partners on a long-term vision toward a financially and operationally sound position in the long run.
