This afternoon, the new pier in Terminal 1 at Munich Airport was officially opened with a festive ceremony. Around 1,000 invited guests from the worlds of politics, business, and aviation were present for the event. 

Munich Airport and Lufthansa are strengthening their successful joint venture with a new agreement. Key elements include the start of planning for the expansion of terminal infrastructure and provisions for continuing and developing the partnership through 2056. 

For the first time, Munich Airport has been certified at Level 4 of the international Airport Carbon Accreditation program, which is run by the European airport association ACI Europe. This globally recognized certification confirms that the airport is consistently working toward its goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2035.

Munich Airport was honored with the title “Best Airport in Central Europe” at the 2026 World Airport Awards ceremony, held on March 18, 2026, as part of the leading international airport trade fair Passenger Terminal EXPO in London.

Munich Airport reached a special milestone in passenger numbers today: At noon, the airport welcomed its one-billionth passenger since it opened in 1992. The airport celebrated this symbolic moment together with its partner, Lufthansa.

Reisende im Terminal 1-Pier dürfen sich auf ein völlig neues gastronomisches Erlebnis freuen. Das neue Gastroportfolio soll klare Benchmarks in puncto Qualität und Komfort setzen. Die fünf Restaurants werden von der Flughafentochter Allresto Flughafen München Hotel und Gaststätten GmbH betrieben.
