Munich Airport hub for international and intercontinental travel
The gains in total passengers at the Bavarian hub were largely due to growth in international traffic. With an increase of about 8 percent to 1.6 million passengers, the intercontinental segment was again the main driver of growth at Munich Airport, with significant traffic on routes to the United Arab Emirates, the USA and South Africa. More than five million passengers travelled on continental routes over the same period – representing a 3 percent increase from the previous year. Here, demand was especially strong for connections from Munich to destinations in Spain and the UK. In the domestic segment, traffic was up by about 1 percent to over 2.2 million passengers.
