Air traffi c operations
10 | Air traffic operations
In 2012, almost 400,000 aircraft took off and landed at Munich Airport on average, around 1,060 a day. One hundred and one airlines operated regular services from Munich to 242 destinations in total 20 domestic and 222 international in 68 countries.
Destinations served on a regular basis* in 2012
*Scheduled and package-tour traffic countries and destinations on passenger
routes only
North and south runwaysRunway arrangement:Parallel, 2,300 meters apart
Runway threshold stagger:1500 meters
Runway length/width:4,000/60 meters each
Dual runway capacity:90 schedulable aircraft movements per hour
The two runways can be operated independently and, thanks to their length, support long-haul aircraft without weight or range limits. Aircraft can take off and land in both operating directions.
The need for a third runwayCapacity remains an issue at Munich Airport. The current runway system allows us to schedule up to 90 takeoffs and landings an hour a limit we already reach for several hours each day, with the result that we have no free slots (the times allotted to individual takeoff and landing operations) during peak hours. However, demand among airlines can run to as many as 110 slots in a given hour. Building a third runway would increase scheduling capacity to 120 movements an hour. This would successfully eliminate queues on the ground and in the air.

The satellite is taking shapeBesides additional runway capacity, Munich Airport will also require more terminal capacity if it is to success-fully maintain levels of service in the years ahead. To address this need, were constructing a satellite an additional passenger building on the east apron, which will be connected to Terminal 2 by an under-ground transport system. Work on the shell began in May 2012, and the building is scheduled for completion in 2015. The satellite will provide 27 additional contact stands for jets, including wide-body aircraft like the Airbus A380. It will also boost Terminal 2s passenger handling capacity by 11 million passengers a year.

14 | Cargo hub operations
Since Munich Airport opened in 1992, our annual cargo ton-nage has increased fourfold, reaching almost 300,000 metric tons in 2012. The amount of bellyhold freight cargo carried in the hold of passenger aircraft has remained steady at a high level, in spite of the difficult economic environment. Courier and express services another air cargo segment at Munich Airport have also developed exceptionally well. In the years ahead, we expect to see renewed gains in our freight busi-ness. To continue to meet the growing demand, were gradu-ally expanding the airports freight infrastructure and capacity. Everything from live animals to pharmaceuticals, perish-ables, and extremely valuable and even hazardous goods pass through the airport, and all are handled with the utmost care. Our infrastructure, specialized equipment, optimized warehouse and storage facilities, highly trained staff and professional process management all ensure that the airport provides the high quality of service that customers expect. Handling operations are also exceptionally swift and efficient, thanks to the short distances between the airports ramp areas and the Air Cargo Center.
A wide range of organizations airlines, freight forwarders, handling companies, general sales agents, logistics compa-nies, packaging services, and customs are located in Munich Airports Air Cargo Center. Our second forwarders building, which opened in September 2012, has greatly reduced the bur-den on our other storage facilities, and has enabled forward-ers to further expand their consolidation and groupage freight operations.

Total capacity:44,000 cubic meters of kerosene
Underground fuel delivery system:Kerosene is pumped by a hydrant pump station along a 17-kilo-meter network of underground pipes. The fuel is pumped into aircraft by dispenser trucks, which connect the underground fuel delivery system to the planes via some 500 refueling pits on the aprons. The refueling system is equipped with systems to detect minor and major leaks.
Safety checksMunich Airport is home to Lufthansa Techniks second-largest maintenance dock. In Hangar 1, around 500 employees work to provide all current aircraft types with proper care and maintenance and to ensure that any technical issues arising with aircraft are rectified. Lufthansa Techniks teams carry out detailed inspec-tions on as many as 40 planes a night. They perform both simple ramp checks and the major C checks that are required every 2024 months. The engineers also replace power units, repair undercarriages, wash the aircraft, and even make modifications to them if necessary.

DeicingPavement deicing:More than four million square meters (runways, taxiways and aprons)
Deicing is carried out using snow plows and, when necessary, chemical deicing agents based on formates. Storm water from deicing is trapped in channels and piped to a water treatment plant in nearby Eitting for processing.
Aircraft deicing:Deicing takes place in special areas at the heads of the run-ways.
Mobile deicing crews, nicknamed polar bears, spray aircraft with a water and glycol mix to clear the ice. The runoff is trapped and processed for reuse in subsequent deicing opera-tions. More than 50 percent of the deicer deployed is recycled.
Deicing operator:EFM Gesellschaft fr Enteisen und Flugzeugschleppen am Flughafen Mnchen mbH
Airport fire serviceNorth and south fire stations:Fire crews are trained to get to any point on either runway from the fire stations within 180 seconds of being called out (as per International Civil Aviation Organization recommenda-tions).
Airport fire service personnel:Around 200 fire fighters
Fleet:Approx. 40 special vehicles
Tasks:Firefighting, technical rescue, and fire safety duties
Deicer biodegradation systemIn the areas around taxiways, stormwater runoff is cleaned by a biodegradation system pioneered at Mu-nich Airport. Along the taxiways, impervious geotextile mats covered with alternating banks of gravel and sand slow the water as it drains. This gives soil bacteria time to clean the runoff, and the water draining into the ground is harmless.

Environmental and climate protection
20 | Environmental and climate protection
Were aware of our responsibility for protecting the environ-ment for future generations. This is why we work to conserve resources and to continue reducing emissions and other environmental impacts. The company is especially active in promoting biodiversity, climate protection, noise control and the optimum use of resources. We dont just meet, but exceed, the requirements in statutory directives and environ-mental regulations.
Carbon-neutral growthOne of our core concerns is to achieve carbon-neutral growth by 2020. This means keeping those carbon emissions that we as an organization can control directly to a level of around 160,000 tons a year (the volume in 2005, our baseline year), in spite of our projected traffic growth. Examples of initiatives to cut carbon emissions Emissions-based landing charges Operation of an on-site heat and power co-generation plant Transition to power-efficient LED lighting Application of sustainable building principles Expansion of solar generating capacity
Air qualityTwo measuring stations one on the west side of the airport campus and another on the east side constantly monitor local air quality and track the impact of aviation and airport operations on pollutant levels. The measurements have shown that pollutant levels caused by the airport in its surrounding area are low and that the figures for almost all types are in the low-to-middle range.
Examples of initiatives to monitor and improve local air quality Emissions-based landing charges Biomonitoring and measurement of air pollutant levels Use of alternative fuels for airport vehicles
Aviation noise monitoringWe also regularly monitor aviation noise at Munich Airport. The company has 16 permanently installed measuring stations within a range of roughly 20 kilometers, plus three mobile sta-tions for special monitoring tasks.
Examples of measures to reduce aviation noise Noise-dependent landing fees Compliance with a rigorous night-flight curfew Active sound-proofing initiatives
BiodiversityAround two-thirds of the airports total area of almost 1,600 hectares are green spaces that provide an optimum habitat for rare bird and plant species inside the airports perimeter. Compensatory mitigation sites, created outside the perimeter to offset the impacts caused by the airport in its present form, encompass around 350 hectares. These sites and the airports peripheral zone connect nearby agricultural land with valuable conservation areas and help to sustain local plant and animal life.
