Maastricht Airlines (Maastricht) is to postpone the launch of its planned début Maastricht to Amsterdam Schiphol route until "at least" September 3. The airline's inaugural launch has already been postponed twice owing to unspecified issues with its fleet of two ex-airBaltic (BT, Riga) Fokker 50s leased from Italian cargo operator MiniLiner (Milan Bergamo). According to some reports, the F50s are in need of "an additional 1'800 hours of maintenance" before they can enter service.
