Munich International Airport was at 11th position in the previous edition of Megahubs Index.

Munich Airport CEO Michael Kerkloh said: “This outstanding placement in the OAG rankings impressively reaffirms that Munich Airport is now firmly established as an important hub within Europe’s transportation infrastructure.

“The beneficiaries of this development are above all travellers and businesses in Southern Germany, who profit from a wide selection of non-stop connections to important cities and markets all over the world.”
