Economic factor: international hub airport strengthens the region

We make strategic decisions by considering all key resources and impact areas: sustainable profitability, employees, expertise, environment, infrastructure, and society. This approach secures our business activities holistically. As an international airport, we influence a wide range of stakeholders and internal and external factors – and are in turn influenced by them. The interactions within our integrated business model are complex and result in effects that arise directly from the operation or use of the airport.

The airport ensures the attractiveness of the region as a location for business, as the international connection offers advantages for the establishment of companies and for the tourism industry. This creates numerous jobs in the greater Munich area and the airport’s catchment area. With annual contract volumes in the hundreds of millions, we are a key business partner for local industry. The airport’s economic ties with the region are reflected in the volume of contracts awarded: Around 42 percent¹⁾ were awarded to companies in the airport region. In 2024, around three quarters of Allresto’s purchasing volume also came from there. According to a study²⁾ on the economic significance of the airport, almost one in every hundred euros generated in the Free State was linked to Munich Airport. Moreover, as an international hub airport, we make global economic relations possible and thereby make an important contribution to international trade. With 464 resident companies and government agencies currently employing a total of approximately 33,330 people, Munich Airport continues to be a major employer and economic factor for the region³⁾.
