Personnel strategy: sustainable success in recruitment
Given the sharp increase in passenger figures and demographic developments, it is essential to continuously recruit new staff across all Group divisions and to retain existing employees through strong engagement. To make FMG more resilient to external influences over the long term, we are strengthening the perception of Munich Airport as an attractive employer – both on the labor market and among our staff. One focus is on the operational divisions that contribute to managing traffic growth. At the same time, changing expectations among young professionals are influencing our personnel policy. For this reason, Flughafen München GmbH promotes a modern working environment – an adaptive organization with a positive work culture in which all employees can continue to grow and realize their full potential.
Flexible working: an important benefit for employees
FMG and AeroGround have created an essential basis for modern working with the company agreement on «Remote Working.» It offers a high degree of flexibility to employees whose roles allow them to work from a different location. Executives and employees can work together to find the optimal balance between remote and in-person working.
Staffing needs: the competition for talent
In today’s highly competitive labor market, securing staffing needs is a top priority. In addition to training young professionals and expanding our graduate trainee program, we are focusing on targeted recruitment and HR marketing initiatives. We engage students at an early stage through internships, thesis opportunities, or working student positions. Employees also receive a bonus for successfully referring new colleagues. In 2024, 64 new hires were based on employee referrals. Recruiting skilled workers from abroad – especially for operational roles – also continues to play an important role.
More applications than ever before
In the reporting year, we succeeded in raising Munich Airport’s profile among interested applicants – in particular by intensifying HR content formats and launching target group-specific online marketing campaigns. In addition to established event formats such as the «Berufsfit» career fair for school students, interested individuals from all professional backgrounds can explore career opportunities with Munich Airport at various on-site events. In June 2024, we hosted the first «jobmesse munich airport» career fair. Around 90 employers – including companies from the Munich Airport Group – presented their entry-level opportunities for all generations and qualifications to several thousand visitors over two days. In 2024, nearly 40,000 people applied for a job with the Munich Airport Group – more than ever before. Approximately 2,000 new employees were hired. In 2025, we plan to hire around 500 new employees in the operational divisions alone.
