Maastricht Aachen Airport
Maastricht Aachen Airport carries two cities and two countries in its name, and looks towards a third. Located in Beek, in Dutch Limburg, along the A2, it is about twenty minutes from Maastricht and around forty from both Liège and Aachen: this is the airport of the Meuse-Rhine Euregion, where French, Dutch and German are all part of daily life. From the Grand-Place, allow about an hour and a half via the E40 and then the E314, which runs past Hasselt and Genk before crossing the Meuse; a few kilometres of motorway then bring you to the Beek exit.
To be clear: passenger services there are modest and vary a great deal from one season to the next. Cargo accounts for a large share of the airport's activity, Beek being one of the main freight hubs in the Netherlands, while scheduled routes are limited to a handful of destinations, mostly in Central Europe and the Balkans, supplemented in some years by holiday flights to the sun. The airport's appeal therefore lies in what it offers when Zaventem does not: a city served direct, a convenient day of departure, a flight time that fits in with a meeting the day before in Liège or Maastricht.
Pick-ups follow the same cross-border logic: they can be in Brussels, but also in Hasselt, Genk, Tongeren, Liège or Aachen, which brings the journey down to under three-quarters of an hour for travellers from the east. On your return, the landing is tracked in real time: whether the plane touches down early or late in the evening, your driver times their arrival to the actual landing and meets you in the arrivals hall. As flights are few and far between, booking as soon as your ticket is issued saves you hunting for a solution the day before you leave.
- Pick-up in Hasselt, Genk, Tongeren, Liège or Aachen as well as in Brussels.
- Route via the E314 and the A2 to the Beek exit, without going through Maastricht.
- Meet & greet in the arrivals hall, with your name clearly displayed on a sign, even for a late-evening flight.
- Multilingual drivers for a journey that crosses the Dutch border and sometimes enters Germany.
- Seven-seat Van with room for six suitcases, for a family trip to the sun.
Your transfer to Maastricht Aachen
Do I need a passport to drive to the airport at Beek?+
No. Belgium and the Netherlands are both in the Schengen Area: the border, which the E314 crosses over the Meuse near Maasmechelen, has no systematic checks. Keep your identity card or passport with you all the same, as the airline will ask for it at boarding and spot checks are still possible. For a destination outside Schengen, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina or Montenegro, check the required documents in advance.
Can the driver pick me up in Liège or Hasselt?+
Yes, and it often makes more sense. From both Liège and Hasselt, the airport is about forty minutes' drive away, compared with an hour and a half from the capital. Simply enter your departure address in the form; the fixed price appears before you confirm. Tongeren, Genk or Aachen can be booked in the same way, and the return journey can drop you in any of these towns.
Flights change often at Maastricht: when should I book the transfer?+
As soon as your plane ticket is issued, giving the flight number. The airport's schedule changes from one season to the next and a flight time can still move a few weeks before departure: if it does, let the team know so that the pick-up can be moved. The online form accepts requests up to three hours before the pick-up time; for a last-minute change, it is best to phone.
Can I fit in a meeting in Maastricht or Aachen before an evening flight?+
Yes, as long as you plan ahead. For a meeting in central Maastricht, at MECC or in Aachen before boarding, the simplest option is to book an hourly chauffeur: they drive you to your meeting, keep your luggage in the vehicle, then take you to Beek at the time you need. This kind of day is arranged on quotation; include the addresses, times and your flight time in your request.
