Introduction Company profile <strong>and</strong> strategyService portfolio Communication <strong>and</strong> social responsibilityP Company profileP Company strategyq Expansion of Munich Airportp L<strong>and</strong>side access master planExpansion of Munich AirportPlans for the futureMunich Airport has steadily advanced to becomeone of Europe’s foremost aviation hubs. In 2011, welogged some 37.8 million passenger movements –three times the volume recorded in 1992, the firstyear at our current location. Forecasts indicate thatthe volume will likely continue to rise, to around58.2 million by 2025. This is because besides servingoriginating <strong>and</strong> terminating air travelers, our airport isan important hub airport for international air travelers.We also expect to see the volume of cargo that weh<strong>and</strong>le continue to increase. Our goal is to maintainour leading position in Europe <strong>and</strong> to continue to meetthe growing dem<strong>and</strong> for air transport within our catchmentarea, comprising southern Germany <strong>and</strong> neighboringcountries. This is why we filed for zoning approvalfor a third runway in 2007 <strong>and</strong> now, nearly twodecades after we began operating at our location inErdinger Moos, are gearing up to exp<strong>and</strong> the airportin line with tomorrow’s dem<strong>and</strong> for air transport.At the limits of capacityToday’s two-runway system, capable of supporting amaximum of 90 aircraft movements an hour, is alreadycausing significant bottlenecks. For several hours eachday, the system is at saturation point <strong>and</strong>, during peakhours, we are unable to meet airlines’ requests forarrival <strong>and</strong> departure slots (the scheduled times atwhich planes can take off <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>). Even during offpeakhours, we have more or less exhausted our optionsfor increasing capacity. This means that airlineshave no appreciable scope for exp<strong>and</strong>ing their routenetworks out of Munich.The solution is to build a third runway, bringing ourcapacity up to at least 120 aircraft movements anhour – a level that would allow us to accommodateour projected traffic growth.Passenger dem<strong>and</strong> through to 2025Historical <strong>and</strong> projected growthCommercial passengers (million)Cargo dem<strong>and</strong> through to 2025Historical <strong>and</strong> projected growth(incl. mail, excl. trucked freight)Metric tons (thous<strong>and</strong>)706050403020 12.01023.128.637.8 49.8 58.29008007006005004003002001008014821830456581019922000 2005 20112020 202519922000 2005 2011 20202025Source: Munich Airport, February 2012; Intraplan Consult GmbHSource: Munich Airport, February 2012; Intraplan Consult GmbH6,2 %7,3 %Gewerbliche Passagiere in Millionen3,7 %704,4 %605040München1992–2011DeutscherDurchschnitt 1(ohne MUC)1992–2011München1992–201130DeutscherDurchschnitt 20 1(ohne 10MUC)1992–20110369008007006005004003002001000
