Located approximately 28 kilometers northeast of Munich city center, it serves tens of millions of passengers annually and acts as a primary hub for Lufthansa and its Star Alliance partners. The airport opened in 1992, replacing the older Munich-Riem Airport, and was purpose-built with modern infrastructure and room for expansion.

Munich Airport has consistently ranked among the top airports in the world for service quality, frequently earning five-star ratings from Skytrax. It handles a broad mix of European short-haul routes and long-haul intercontinental services, making it a key gateway to Germany and the broader Alpine region.
