Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST) has welcomed Peter Penseel, to its new Supervisory Board.

Penseel, who is president of Delta Airlines cargo, brings over 30 years of experience in airfreight, including senior roles at Qatar Airways, DHL Global Forwarding, UTi, and CEVA Logistics.

Schiphol Nederland NV, alongside the Province of Limburg, joined as shareholders of NV HBLM in 2023 and have now decided to appoint Penseel as a fourth member of the supervisory board to bolster MST’s commitment to their cargo growth and objectives.

“Maastricht Airport is looking to the future with a new CEO, Joos Meijs, joining next month and a robust plan for further developing our cargo services,” said Jonas van Stekelenburg, CEO, Maastricht Aachen Airport.

“Peter’s solid track record in airfreight adds weight to our new Supervisory Board and we look forward to his help in driving new initiatives for our cargo offering.”

MST, the Netherlands’ second largest cargo hub, has a new management structure following investment from the Royal Schiphol Group, owners of Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

The Supervisory Board, which is tasked with steering future growth at the airport, is made up of experts in various disciplines within aviation and business, including Frans Weekers, Angelique Palmen and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’s Kjell Kloosterziel.

MST last year invested EUR35.3 million to upgrade its runway as part of an ongoing EUR100 million infrastructure development plan.
