Munich International Airport, MUC

Munich International Airport – Munich, Bavaria, Germany (IATA: MUC, ICAO: EDDM), officially named Franz Josef Strauss International Airport (German: Flughafen München Franz Josef Strauß) is located 17.5 miles (28km) northeast of Munich, Germany, and is a hub for Lufthansa and Star Alliance partner airlines. The airport lies in portions of four municipalities: Freising, Oberding (location of the terminals), Hallbergmoos and Marzling. The airport is named in memory of politician Franz Josef Strauß.

In 2006 the airport had 30.76 million passengers, making it the second most important airport in Germany and currently ranked 7th in Europe. In 2006, for the second consecutive year, Munich Airport was named the "Best Airport in Europe" and third best worldwide (after Singapore Changi Airport and Hong Kong International Airport) by Skytrax, the air transport research company.

Terminals

There are two terminals at Munich. The airport is roughly divided into three parts, Terminal 1, common area and Terminal 2, which is the newest part. Terminal 1 and 2's airsides are much more sparse in shops and eateries than the common area. The latter contains the airport's own brewpub, Airbräu.

Terminal 1

Terminal 1 houses most non-Star Alliance airlines, it has 60 stands, 19 aerobridges and 14 boarding stations. The halls or areas are numbered A-F (F being nearer teminal 2, and a secure area for Israel bound flights). It was opened on 17th May 1992 and is capable of handling 20 million passengers per year. Currently, the terminal is being renovated, giving increased space for shops and other improvements. The first halls have already been finished.

68 airlines use Terminal 1.
