Franz Josef Strauss Airport
About MUC
Overview
Franz Josef Strauss Airport lies in the Erdinger Moos, roughly 28 kilometers northeast of central Munich in Bavaria, Germany. It serves as the primary international gateway to southern Germany and one of the busiest airports in the country. The airport opened in May 1992, replacing the older Munich-Riem facility, which had become constrained by its inner-city location.
Terminals & runways
The airport operates two passenger terminals. Terminal 1 handles a mix of European and intercontinental carriers across several modules, while Terminal 2, jointly operated with Lufthansa, serves Star Alliance traffic and includes a dedicated satellite pier connected by an underground people mover. Two parallel runways oriented roughly east-west handle simultaneous operations. A long-discussed third runway remains unbuilt. A nighttime curfew restricts most scheduled movements.
Airlines
Munich is a major hub for Lufthansa, which bases a substantial long-haul and short-haul fleet here, and a focus airport for several of its Star Alliance partners. Discover Airlines and Condor also maintain operations. International carriers from across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia serve the airport, reflecting its role as a key southern European connecting point.
