Maastricht Airlines was a Dutch airline which had announced plans to start operating routes from Maastricht Aachen Airport using two Fokker 50 aircraft leased from the Italian cargo airline MiniLiner. The aircraft were to receive registrations PH-KVA and PH-KVB, since both aircraft once belonged to KLM Cityhopper. It was planned to extend the fleet to six aircraft. The airline was backed by the Municipality of Maastricht and the Province of Limburg. In early July, the staff of Maastricht Airlines started crowdfunding campaign in order to save the airline.
