Introduction Company profile <strong>and</strong> strategyService portfolio Communication <strong>and</strong> social responsibilityP Regional growth partnershipsq Economic valuep Community engagementP Stakeholder dialoguep Employment multiplierThe airport has an employment multiplier value of 1.03within its local region. This means that the 30,000 jobsat the airport today are responsible for generatingmore than 30,000 additional jobs in the airport’s surroundingarea. At the national level, Munich Airport’semployment multiplier is even higher, at 1.64. 1Just under 5 percent of people employed in the airport’slocal region work in jobs related either directlyor indirectly to the operation of the airport. Excludingthe state capital, Munich, this figure is significantlyhigher, at 16 percent. 2Forecasts indicate that the economy in the airport’slocal area will grow rapidly through to 2025, causingthe number of jobs to rise sharply. Studies show thatbuilding the airport’s third runway could create around16,700 additional jobs. 32.
