The new gate at Terminal 1 at Munich Airport is making great progress. After the exterior facade was closed last year, the interior work is currently progressing quickly. Completion is scheduled for the end of 2025, followed by extensive testing before commissioning.
“With the expansion, we are ensuring that a high quality of stay and service will be offered in all handling areas in the future,” explains Jost Lammers, CEO of Flughafen München GmbH (FMG). The new gate extends around 360 meters into the west apron and covers around 95.000 square meters. FMG is investing a total of 665 million euros in the project.
The building has six floors, three of which are for passengers and handling. The pier can accommodate up to twelve small aircraft or six wide-body aircraft at the same time. The central security check area is equipped with the latest CT technology.
The equipment of the new building is based on energy-efficient system technology, including air treatment systems with highly efficient heat recovery systems. Nathalie Leroy, FMG Managing Director for Finance and Infrastructure, emphasizes that the improvements will make Terminal 1 state-of-the-art and ideally equipped for future challenges.
The expanded pier will also offer commercial areas with retreats, children's playgrounds and exhibition areas. The "Bavarian Soul" concept will present the airport as Bavaria's calling card. A central marketplace with a duty-free area and numerous catering and retail units will be the heart of the new pier.
