Munich Airport records growth in passengers and freight
Munich Airport recorded sustained growth in the first nine months of 2024. With almost 31,4 million passengers, an increase of 4,5 million travelers was achieved compared to the same period last year, which corresponds to an increase of 12,5 percent. The positive development continued in September, even though the number of passengers at 4,1 million fell short of the 4,2 million guests in August due to the shorter month. In the second half of September in particular, over a million passengers traveled through the airport. In addition to the number of passengers, the number of take-offs and landings also increased: over 247.000 flight movements were registered from January to September, which corresponds to an increase of almost nine percent compared to the previous year. In addition, freight volume grew to almost 228.000 tons, also an increase of almost nine percent compared to the previous year. Munich Airport is thus a central hub in air traffic with increasing passenger numbers and growing freight volume.
