At the start of the Easter holidays, Munich Airport handled an unexpectedly high passenger volume without any significant disruption. Between Friday and Sunday, approximately 395.000 passengers were processed, representing an increase of approximately 80.000 travelers compared to the previous year. This increase was further amplified by the simultaneous end of the world's largest construction machinery trade fair in Munich.
Despite the high demand, there were no significant wait times in the check-in areas or at the modernized security checkpoints in both terminals. Flight operations also ran smoothly, with excellent punctuality rates. Approximately 2.900 takeoffs and landings were recorded on the first holiday weekend. Airlines have registered approximately 15.000 flights to 189 different destinations for the entire Easter holiday period. Munich Airport expects a total of over two million passengers during the Easter travel period.
European destinations such as Italy, Spain, Greece, and Turkey are particularly popular with travelers, with a total of around 4.300 flight movements. Intercontinental connections are also experiencing high demand, with over 760 flights to 20 destinations in the United States and Canada. In Asia, Thailand and Vietnam remain popular destinations. A new service to Windhoek, Namibia, with 14 flight movements is also being added. Munich Airport is thus well prepared for the increased travel traffic during the Easter holidays.
