When Munich's famous call of "O'zapft is!" – the beer is tapped - marks the beginning of Oktoberfest season, the festive spirit can also be experienced at Munich Airport. Visitors and travelers can enjoy a genuine Oktoberfest atmosphere with traditional costume pop-ups, the Airbräu Oktoberfest celebration, Bavarian brass bands, and other special attractions. As a welcoming gesture, the airport also distributes traditional gingerbread hearts to guests.

Munich Airport successfully launched its inaugural Padel Days with a major opening event on Saturday.

Today marks exactly 100 days since the new pier in Terminal 1 (T1) began operations on April 21, 2026.
