European and national funding programs enable the Flughafen München GmbH to implement future-oriented projects in the areas of infrastructure, digitalization, mobility and sustainability.
They help promote innovation, strengthen the airport’s competitiveness and actively shape the transition toward more climate-friendly air travel.
The projects are co-financed by the European Union under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). Flughafen München GmbH will receive a total of approximately 4.6 million euros in European Union funding through 2027 for several CEF-funded projects.
The CEF is a key European funding instrument for promoting strategic transport and digitalization projects with high European added value. Its goal is to establish an efficient, sustainable, and interoperable trans-European transport network.
This is the first time a software has achieved complete real-time transparency across all processes between an aircraft’s docking and undocking. The AI-powered software ApronAI called KAZE analyzes video footage and automatically detects operations such as unloading, refueling, or the docking of the jet bridge. Each step is time-stamped, providing all stakeholders - from the traffic control center to airlines and service providers - with a shared, objective view.
CHIMP is the digital backbone of flight operations at Munich Airport. The platform connects data and applications on a common foundation, improves information sharing among all stakeholders, and creates the basis for efficient, transparent and future-ready airport operations.
