Flight operations also saw an uptick of 3%, totaling 337,000 takeoffs and landings.

The airport expanded its network to 232 destinations within Germany and 71 other countries, accommodating 96 airlines, inclusive of five cargo carriers.

Despite facing operational challenges such as bad weather and drone interruptions, Munich Airport achieved a punctuality rate exceeding 75%, earning its status as one of Europe’s top three major hubs for reliable flight schedules. New security protocols, including advanced CT scanners, improved passenger screening efficiency, enabling 95% of travelers to pass through security in less than ten minutes.
