|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maastricht Aachen Airport | MST | 27 km (17 mi) | 9,022 ft | 375 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,022 ft, MST handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 375 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
