Munich Airport recorded strong growth in long-haul traffic to Asia in 2024. A total of 2,6 million passengers traveled from Munich to eleven Asian countries, an increase of 38,7 percent compared to the previous year. The most popular destinations included Bangkok, Singapore and Beijing.
The growth is based on a combination of established flight connections and new offers. For example, the Taiwanese EVA Air has been offering four weekly non-stop flights to Taipei for two years, while Vietnam Airlines has been operating flights to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City since October. From June 2025, Cathay Pacific will also fly to Munich Airport, meaning that ten Asian airlines will serve the Bavarian hub alongside Lufthansa in the future.
Munich Airport also scored points in freight traffic in 2024: a third of the intercontinental freight volume - a total of 105.000 tons - went to East Asia. This means that Munich remains a central hub for exports from economically strong southern Germany to China, India and Japan.
To mark the start of the Lunar New Year, the airport is offering a discount campaign in its eurotrade shops until the end of March 2025. Passengers can take advantage of discounts of up to 88 euros.
