Munich today – News from May 15th, 2022 – Munich

When I was doing research at Munich Airport two years ago, I didn’t recognize him. The corona pandemic had largely paralyzed air traffic, where people used to queue at the security check, there was a yawning emptiness. The arrivals and departures boards were almost empty. Today, with many travel restrictions lifted, the airport is recovering.

At Easter, for example, the number of flights reached a good 70 percent of the level from the record year 2019. On the night of May 16/17, 1992, the airport moved from Riem to Erdinger Moos in an unprecedented move (SZ Plus ). Since then, not only has the number of flights and passengers increased steadily until Corona slowed down this development. The airport itself has also grown considerably and is still growing.

An extension to Terminal 1 is scheduled to go into operation around 2025. The local residents, who have been complaining about aircraft noise and air pollution for 30 years now, are less likely to be pleased. Since the opening of the airport, you have campaigned against its further expansion (SZ Plus). However, the already planned, approved and highly controversial third runway has not yet been built, mainly because of the Munich referendum in 2012.

The opponents hope that it never comes to that. Currently, even Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU), once a passionate advocate of the slope, does not consider it necessary. But according to the motto “trust, see who” the initiatives remained vigilant. In times of growing climate awareness, it remains to be seen whether flight operations will return to old heights or even surpass them.
