So far so good as far as Maastricht Airlines are concerned and it appears that they'ere as good as up and running with flights already bookable.

Maastricht-Aachen Airport-
Given the current financial crisis the world is in, and given that the train service is direct to Amsterdam in 2h 30m and to Schiphol in 2h 35m (albeit with a fairly painless stopover in Sittard) I would suggest that they get their interlining agreements in place asap because I just don't see point-to-point working.
My heart however would love to see it work given the distinct lack of any progress on the much eluded to high-speed train service to this part of the world over the last few years. As a very regular user of the Dutch railways (NS), I am often left perplexed at the continual "works on the line" story, particularly at the weekends and this could be to the new start-up's benefit.
