Aircraft without an ICAO Annex 16 noisecertificate are not allowed to take off or land atMunich Airport. On the airport’s third runway, thesame applies to Chapter 2 aircraft 1 and to marginalChapter 3 aircraft.) No changes to the current night-flight curfewThe current night-flight curfew, introduced in 2001,will remain unchanged, not least because FMG hasnot applied to conduct regular night flight operationson the airport’s third runway. The runway mayonly be used in exceptional circumstances – in theevent of an emergency or if one of the two existingrunways is closed. This means that current noiseand movement quotas will remain the same. Theprovisions contained in the zoning approval are suchthat people need not be concerned that they couldbe affected by the relocation of current night flightsto the third runway or the introduction of additionalnight flights on the third runway.Zoning approval grantedThe regional government of Upper Bavaria grantedzoning approval for the construction of a third runwayon July 26, 2011. The approving authority reviewedand considered all of the impacts associated with therequirements submitted and, by issuing its decision,has expressly approved the plans we submitted forthe third runway.The statutory approval of the Upper Bavarian regionalgovernment is a key milestone inasmuch as it meansthat the construction project can begin immediately.However, the company has chosen to follow the adviceof Bavaria’s Higher Administrative Court and notto proceed until the principal proceedings concerningthe project have reached a conclusion.Since the grant of zoning approval, voting in a municipalreferendum in Munich has gone against a thirdrunway at the airport. However, the approval is stillunder judicial review, and if the courts find in ourfavor, this will grant us a long-term right to build therunway – something of major strategic value for us.A satellite building for Terminal 2In December 2010, FMG and Lufthansa’s supervisoryboards gave the go-ahead for the construction of a) satellite that will significantly boost capacity atMunich Airport’s Terminal 2. With this project, FMGand Lufthansa, who jointly operate Terminal 2, areresponding to the swift growth in passenger numbersat the airport. Terminal 2, inaugurated in 2003and designed specifically to support Lufthansa andpartner airlines’ hub operations, handled 26.5 millionpassengers in 2011, exceeding its notional annualcapacity limit of 25 million.Augmenting passenger capacityThe new building, which has already received zoningapproval, will create the capacity to handle an additional11 million passengers a year. The satellite will costaround €650 million to build and, as with Terminal 2previously, the expense will be shared 60:40 by FMGand Lufthansa.The new satellite has been designed as an add-onto the existing baggage sorting hall on the apron tothe east of Terminal 2. Under the current plans, thesatellite will have passenger handling facilities onthree levels, plus a total of 52 gates. The buildingwill also have 27 aircraft stands, more than doublingthe number of contact stands currently available forTerminal 2.An energy-efficient people mover systemThe satellite will be equipped with an undergroundautomated people mover (APM) system connectingit to Terminal 2. The system’s two stations and tunnelwere built to a semi-finished state when Terminal 2was erected. Three trains, each with four cars, willshuttle between the terminal and the satellite at a1Exception: Aircraft certified by the Federal Office of Aviation or an EU memberstate. No exceptions will apply on the airport’s third runway.40
