With the closure of Munich airport's Ramp 11 on January 9th, local handler EBAS International reports that foreign operators are being forced to park some four kilometres away from the GAT.

"It's an impossible situation for the whole of business aviation," says general manager Monika Petereit. "Due to the construction work for the new Lufthansa satellite terminal, all foreign operators will be parked and handled at the remote parking position Ramp 7/8.

"But business aviation is reliant on offering passengers quick and smooth handling, and this guarantee has therefore been removed."

EBAS International has made some progress, however, and is now able to use new parking positions for up to three aircraft at the new Ramp 12, which is located close to the GAT.

By special request it is also able to perform quick turnarounds for passenger pick up and drop off directly at the GAT via Ramp 10.
