Munich Airport is a large international airport serving Munich, the capital of the state of Bavaria in Germany. With over 42 million passengers a year, Munich Airport is the second largest airport in Germany, after Frankfurt Airport, and is a major hub for Lufthansa and Lufthansa Regional.

The airport was voted best European Airport eight times in the last ten years.
The airport replaced the old Munich-Riem Airport which was unable to expand. The decision to build a new airport was taken in 1969 but construction started not sooner than 1980 and only in 1992 the airport commenced operations and the old airport closed.
