Munich’s role as a hub airport

Munich Airport has long since earned itself a repu-tation as an important hub in European and inter-national aviation. Today, a growing number of pas-sengers fly to Munich in order to catch onwardflights to destinations all over the world. In 2008,these travelers accounted for 36 percent of ourtraffic. Airport records show that in 2008, 18 per-cent of transfer passengers were of domestic ori-gin and switched to an international flight atMunich Airport; roughly the same number arrivedfrom foreign countries and boarded an onward do-mestic flight; and 64 percent arrived from abroadand flew on to a destination outside Germany.Only a few transferred from one domestic flightto another.

Satisfied passengers

The FMG Group offers airport users a wide rangeof services and retail goods that is constantly be-ing adapted and extended in line with their needs.This commitment to customer satisfaction hasearned awards for the airport on more than oneoccasion. In a recent survey among 8.2 millionpassengers for example (see p. 4), the airport’srestaurants, shopping, service and convenienceall received excellent scores.

North and south runwaysRunway arrangement:Parallel, 2,300 meters apart

Runway threshold stagger:1,500 meters

Runway length/width:4,000/60 meters each

Dual runway capacity:90 schedulable aircraft movements per hour

The two runways can be operated independentlyand, thanks to their length, can support long-haul air-craft without weight or range limits. Aircraft can takeoff and land in both operating directions.

In 2008, 432,296 aircraft took off and landed atMunich Airport – on average, 1,150 a day. To continueto meet the steadily growing demand for passengerand freight services and to compete successfully asa major European hub, Munich urgently needs to in-crease its capacity. The only way to achieve this is tobuild a third runway, and this is already at the plan-ning stage. For general aviation – smaller planes witha maximum takeoff weight of more than two tonsand capable of landing on instruments – the airporthas a separate terminal and apron area.

ApronsWest passenger apron (Terminal 1):Area: 600,000 square meters60 aircraft parking stands in total- 19 stands at Terminal 1 with passenger boardingbridges- 2 additional stands at the terminal- 14 boarding stations (weatherproof)- 25 remote stands

East passenger apron (Terminal 2)Area: 760,000 square meters75 aircraft parking stands in total- 24 stands at Terminal 2 with passenger boardingbridges- 4 additional stands at the terminal for regional jets- 47 boarding stations (weatherproof)

Third runway (planned)Location:Northeast of the north runway

Centerline distance from north runway:1,180 meters

Threshold stagger to the east:2,100 meters

Length/width:4,000/60 meters

Scheduled to open:as of 2011

The three-runway system will have a capacity of atleast 120 schedulable aircraft movements an hour. Allthree runways will be capable of operating indepen-dently.

Thirty-three to one

A total of 33 potential sites were reviewed as can-didates for the location of Munich Airport’s thirdrunway. Studies showed that the only way toachieve the projected capacity of 120 aircraftmovements an hour with an average delay of, atmost, four minutes was to build an independentlyoperable runway, parallel to the current runwaysystem. The site with the designation 5b waseventually chosen, based on numerous criteria, in-cluding space and land requirements, noise, andenvironmental impacts.

A regional aviation award

Munich Airport was honored by the EuropeanRegional Airline Association (ERA) with the AirportAchievement Award 2007/2008.With prior wins in2002 and 2005, this is the airport’s third ERAaward.

The A 380 in Munich

In February 2004, Munich became Europe’s firstairport to receive clearance to handle the AirbusA 380 – with a wingspan of almost 80 meters andthe capacity to seat up to 850 passengers, theworld’s largest passenger aircraft. Munich hasthree stands where the giant jet can park – two atTerminal 2 and a third at Terminal 1. On March 28,2007, the A 380 paid the airport its first visit,touching down on Bavarian soil at 12:35pm andsetting off for Toulouse at 5:49pm.

Environmental protection at the airport

Flughafen München GmbH’s environmental man-agement system was validated in 2008 by an in-dependent environmental auditor and certified toDIN ISO 14001:2004 and EMAS Regulation761/2001. The company publishes an environmen-tal statement each year which it submits to an en-vironmental auditor for review.

Cargo hub growth factors

Germany is the world’s biggest exporter, and thestate of Bavaria currently has an export ratio of 45percent. This means that Munich Airport’s cargohub is a valuable and important regional asset.The airport’s excellent connections to the globalaviation network offer Bavaria’s exporters quickand easy access to the world’s key markets. Atthe same time, the quality of air transport ser-vices to and from Munich is boosting Bavaria’s ap-peal as a business location for foreign as well aslocal investors.

The world's second-best cargo airport

In the 2008 Air Cargo Excellence Survey, an inter-national comparison review of air cargo facilities,Munich Airport ranked second in the world, be-hind Japan's Nagoya Airport. Conducted amongairlines and forwarders, this, the fourth such sur-vey, was initiated by the well known industrymagazine Air CargoWorld. The survey scores air-ports in four categories: performance, value, facili-ties and operations. Munich ranked consistentlyamong the top three in each of these, and eventook first place in the facilities category.

Munich Airport is home to LufthansaTechnik’ssecond-largest maintenance dock. In Hangar 1,Europe’s biggest maintenance hangar, more than400 employees work to provide all current aircrafttypes with proper care and maintenance and toensure that any technical issues arising with air-craft are rectified. LufthansaTechnik’s teams carryout detailed inspections on as many as 40 planesa night, including basic trip checks and the major“C” checks that are required every 18 months.The engineers also replace power units, repair un-dercarriages, wash the aircraft, and even makemodifications to them if necessary.

Aircraft deicing:Deicing takes place in special areas at the heads ofthe runways.

Mobile deicing crews, nicknamed “polar bears“,spray aircraft with a water and glycol mix to clear theice. The runoff is trapped, processed and reused insubsequent deicing operations. More than 50 per-cent of the deicer deployed is recycled.

Deicing operator:EFM - Gesellschaft für Enteisen und Flugzeugschlep-pen am Flughafen München mbH

Airport fire serviceNorth and south fire stations:Fire crews can reach any point on either runway fromthe fire stations within 180 seconds of being calledout (as per International Civil Aviation Organizationrecommendations).

Airport fire service personnel:Around 200 fire fighters

Fleet:Approx. 40 special vehicles

Tasks:Fire fighting, technical rescue, and fire safety duties(e.g., standby during plane refueling)

DeicingPavement deicing:Roughly 4 million square meters of paved areas (run-ways, taxiways and aprons) are deiced at the airport.

Deicing is carried out using snow plows and, whennecessary, chemical deicing agents based on for-mates. Stormwater from deicing is trapped in chan-nels and piped to a water treatment plant in nearbyEitting for processing.

Personnel:Flughafen München GmbH has a snow crew ofaround 80 employees, plus roughly 330 externalworkers operating in shifts.

Protecting groundwater from deicer

A biological system pioneered at Munich Airport isused to treat deicing stormwater draining off thetaxiways. Buried in the ground next to the pavingare impermeable mats layered with gravel andbanks of sand that delay the stormwater as itdrains away. This gives micro-organisms in thegravel and sand time to break down the deicingagent into water and carbon dioxide. By the timethe water drains into the ground, it is harmless.
