Franz Josef Strauss International Airport (IATA: MUC, ICAO: EDDM) is the airport serving Munich, Germany. It is the second-busiest airport in the country and among the Top 10 airports in Europe.
Munich Airport is the second hub of Lufthansa and a focus city for TUIfly.

History

MUC was opened in 1992, taking over from Munich-Riem Airport which was subsequently closed. It took 12 years to construct the airport, mainly because there were long-running lawsuits against it and the plans had to be changed several times.
The airport is named after Franz Josef Strauss, a former bavarian prime minister whose government planned the new airport.
In 2003 a second terminal has been completed, now housing Lufthansa and its Star Alliance partners.

Location

The airport is located about 30km north of Munich near the towns Freising and Erding.

Ground Transportation

MUC is connected to suburban rail services to Munich as well as to a motorway.

Planned

  • A Transrapid Maglev line has been proposed to connect the airport to Munich city centre. However due to the immense costs this is unlikely to go ahead
  • A new rail line is planned to link the airport with the nearby town of Freising. The airport could be served also by regional trains when this line is completed.
