Dialogue management: Dealing with feedback professionally / GRI 2-29

The central dialogue management team responds to, categorizes, and analyzes all customer feedback promptly and individually. This office deals with constructive criticism and positive feedback, in addition to complaints. In order to develop optimal process solutions for air travelers and to derive improvements where necessary, the departments, authorities, and system partners involved along the passenger experience chain network closely with each other.

Dialog management recorded a total of 3,798 complaints in 2024. That is 15.9% more than in 2023, an increase that can be attributed on the one hand to general irregularities in air traffic and, on the other, to the difficulty in increasing the workforce, especially in the area of baggage handling, after aviation came to an almost complete standstill as a result of the pandemic. There were additionally some security and other extraordinary incidents in the terminal areas. Criticisms generally focused on the quality of service and stay. In 2024, Munich Airport recorded a relative complaint rate of 91 complaints per million passengers handled.

  2. other activities, NBC hazardous substances, and deployments of the Firefighting service («other» alarm designations/assessments)

As part of Corporate Security, the Airport Rescue and Firefighting service on the premises of the airport in Munich is responsible for fire safety and for technical assistance in the area of fire safety in aircraft and buildings. With qualified rescue service personnel and its own rescue vehicles, it provides 24-hour emergency assistance for passengers, visitors, and employees, and performs safety monitoring for work and events involving a fire hazard. From the two fire stations, the 50 firefighters present – the number of personnel on 24-hour duty as stipulated by the approval authority – can reach any point on the flight operations grounds within 180 seconds, thus meeting the prescribed response times for aircraft fire protection. The extinguishing capacity for aircraft fire protection meets the requirements of the highest category 10 of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for each runway.

  1. All FMG employees, excluding apprentices, workers in marginal part-time employment, temporary staff, and interns. The total remuneration of part-time employees has to be extrapolated to a full-time equivalent in each case. The total remuneration includes: basic salary, bonuses, stock and option packages.

  2. Key figures influenced by short-time working, which continued up to and including the middle of 2022. Key figure collected for the first time in 2022 and so far only for FMG.  


Because of the disparate, non-consolidated payrolls of the FMG subsidiaries, determining these key figures on a Group-wide basis involves a disproportionately large cost and effort and is therefore not reported.

  1. FMG calculates its carbon footprint based on the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. For Scope 3, FMG reports on relevant – for its business model – sub-sectors. In addition, the principle of operational control is applied. To the extent that they are subject to emissions trading, conversion parameters, such as heat values and emission factors in particular, are determined according to the provisions of the German Emissions Trading Authority (DEHSt). Other conversion parameters are based on the latest publications from the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA).

  2. EFM: company responsible for de-icing and aircraft towing at Munich Airport; associated company

  3. Reporting of scope 2 emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance (2015) using the location-based method on the basis of federal domestic consumption, electricity mix and district heating mix emission factors. Net scope 2 emissions with specific emission factors are 0.371 kg/kWh for electricity and 0.213 kg/kWh for district heating from fossil fuels (source: UBA). The total district heating supply consists of fossil district heating and district heating from biomass with the specific emission factor of 0 kg/kWh.

  4. 59% electricity from renewable energies (as of 2023 according to section 42 of the German Energy Act (EnWG))

  5. Estimated value based on previous years: 75% of the district heating is obtained from biomass directly from the biomass heating plant at the Zolling site.

  6. purchase of natural gas only (reference year 2024), no renewable energies

  7. including quantities distributed to external companies

  8. Total volume distributed to external companies and subsidiaries. The specific emission factor used for purchased power was also used here.

  9. For physical reasons, it does not make sense to add heating, cooling, and electricity together in energy units. The sum can only be used to draw very limited conclusions.

  10. not indicated, as values cannot be reported for all items

  11. sum of scope 1, scope 2, and the subtotal scope 3a

  12. emissions calculated using the LASPORT model for the classification of flight operations based on the LTO cycle

  13. Scope 2 emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance (2015) using the market-based method produce 3,618 t CO₂. The basis is the emission factor of 0.177 kg/kWhel for the electricity procured by Munich Airport. The other emission factors from footnote 3) remain unchanged.

  14. calculated from aircraft movements using the LASPORT model, subsequently taking into account the APU emissions prevented by using PCA systems

  15. Carbon emissions from employees and air passengers traveling to and from the airport. In the case of employees, only the route to the workplace at the Munich Airport campus is considered.

Electricity generation and procurement / GRI 305-1, GRI 305-2, GRI 305-5

With its own block heat and power plant, which is operated based on the cogeneration of heat and power, Munich Airport generates around 80% of its total electricity needs as an energy supplier. The missing portion of approximately 20% is procured and supplied to affiliated companies and third-party customers on campus. The cogeneration plant converts used natural gas into electrical energy and usable heat at the same time. Around 80% of the waste heat generated during power generation covers the heating requirements of the airport campus. The airport procures the remaining required heating from the Freising district heating supply. Since the beginning of 2011, around half of the district heating procured has come from renewable biomass.

  1. Electricity consumption is responsible for more than 2/3 of the total carbon emissions caused by energy-induced processes at the airport (excluding airline emissions). Furthermore, it is only very slightly linked to weather conditions. For this reason, the power consumption per passenger is the most meaningful key figure for energy consumption at Munich Airport.

  2. The energy intensity coefficient is calculated in relation to the number of passengers. Because of the sharp drop in passenger numbers in 2020 and 2021, the value differs greatly from the pre- and post-pandemic figures.

The total electricity consumption of all buildings and facilities, including the electricity transmitted through the grid, is counted as electricity consumption on the airport campus. This includes power consumption by FMG and its subsidiaries, consumption by external companies, and all losses at the low-voltage level.

  1. The measured value «carbon emissions per passenger» enables the different forms of primary and secondary energy used at the airport to be added together in a physically meaningful way in relation to passenger figures. Up to and including 2021, the calculation of the key figure comprises carbon emissions from scope 1, 2 and 3a (including the consumption of electricity, heating, cooling, natural gas, and fuels from external companies).
    Starting in 2022 – in line with the current carbon strategy – the carbon emissions of scope 1 and 2 will be added together without including scope 3a.

  2. The intensity of greenhouse gas emissions is calculated in relation to the number of passengers. Because of the sharp drop in passenger numbers in 2020 and 2021, the value differs greatly from the pre-pandemic figures.

Under the provisions of the planning approval notice, Munich Airport is required to test the water surrounding the airport. Securing evidence regarding the quantity (water level) and quality (water quality) of groundwater is particularly important. FMG measures the water levels of more than 300 groundwater and 17 surface water measurement points on an ongoing basis. Water quality is determined at 18 groundwater measuring points and eleven surface water measuring points. All implemented measures are summarized in a report, evaluated, and presented to the water authorities.

Hazardous goods: Inspections and training / GRI 306-4

Operations at Munich Airport involve a number of substances that are harmful to the environment and water and that have to be declared as hazardous goods and subsequently transported off site. The vehicles used for transporting hazardous goods were inspected to verify that they are in proper condition and are roadworthy and safe to operate. Employees undergo training in the handling of hazardous goods at regular intervals in accordance with the legal regulations. In the 2024 reporting year, a total of 166 tons of waste (previous year: 223 tons) was declared as hazardous goods and transported for disposal.

Waste management / GRI 306-2

Flughafen München GmbH is authorized to conduct waste management independently on its site in accordance with the German Waste Management and Product Recycling Act. Avoidance of waste is an absolute priority. However, waste and scrap products are generated from the operation of the airport – across the board – and these are then collected where they occur in various separating systems, handed over to certified specialist businesses close to the airport, prepared in sorting plants, and then recycled. The small proportion of residual waste that cannot be recycled is converted by the Munich North power plant into district heating and power.

The majority of waste and scrap material is generated by affiliated companies as well as the companies and airlines based at the airport. The prerequisite for successful resource conservation is therefore a disposal concept tailored to the individual waste producer – from waste generation to recycling and disposal. FMG therefore provides regular information on current waste topics, gives tips on environmentally friendly conduct, and is on hand to offer advice.

Waste from aircraft / GRI 306-2

The volumes of waste (category 1 material) from aircraft cabin interior cleaning and catering are disposed of in accordance with EC Regulation 1069/2009 (Regulation on animal by-products) by a specialist waste management company at the Munich North waste incineration plant/power plant or recycled into energy.

The disposal service is not the responsibility of FMG and is conducted by a waste disposal specialist working on behalf of the Erding renderers association.

Noise protection regulations

The main regulations for the aviation industry are defined on an international level. Under the umbrella organization that is the United Nations, the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) deals with the issue of reducing aircraft noise. The EU has similar objectives: With the «Flightpath 2050», it aims to reduce noise emissions by 65% by 2050, starting from 2000. But the airport operator can also help to regulate this area. Loud aircraft without certificates to ICAO Annex 16 are not allowed to take off from or land at Munich Airport. The regulations are even stricter at night: The night-flight curfew at Munich Airport is based on a noise quota that takes into account the number of movements as well as the type and size of the aircraft. In 2024, the utilization rate of the noise quota was 55%. The permissible continuous sound level of 50 dB(A) was not exceeded at any intersection of the flight corridors with the boundary line of the designated day/night protected area.

The assignment of the operating direction, in other words the decision as to whether the aircraft take off and land to the east or west, depends on the wind. This is because take-offs and landings usually take place into the prevailing wind direction. In addition, when using the runway system, FMG makes sure that the north and south runways are utilized as equally as possible.
