Munich Airport is still soaring, setting yet another record with more than 7.2 million passengers in the first quarter of this year – a figure that matches the entire traffic volume for all of 1984! The number of arriving and departing passengers handled in the first quarter of the current operating year at Munich Airport was up 12 percent on the same period a year earlier. This first-quarter growth rate was the best posted by the airport in the past eight years and was the second-highest since the airport opened, bested only by the first quarter of 1999.

The more than 96,000 commercial take-offs and landings recorded at Munich Airport also represented a hefty 5 percent gain in total aircraft movements in the first three months of the year. The airfreight sector once again achieved double-digit growth. The more than 58,000 metric tons of freight flown between January and March represented a gain of close to 13 percent in the turnover of commodities and merchandise over the first quarter of 2006.

The long-haul segment was once again one of the major growth engines in the first quarter, with more than one million passengers attracted by the airport's exciting range of intercontinental destinations all over the world. The share of passengers on long-haul routes was up 18 percent as compared with the same period in 2006.
