Munich Airport reopens Terminal 1

Things are looking up at Munich Airport.  Last week the airport recorded its highest traffic volume in over nine months, with around 400 flights and 36,000 passengers, still well below a typical 100,000 plus pre-pandemic.

With these increasing traffic volumes, Terminal 1 will be reopened on 23 June. All the airlines which were temporarily relocated to Terminal 2 will move back there - except for Eurowings, which will remain in Terminal 2 for the time being.

Lufthansa will step by step expand its long-haul services from Munich again. In July, the airline will resume its North American routes to Boston, New York (JFK), Charlotte and Vancouver. Currently, Lufthansa serves five long-haul destinations from Munich Airport: Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Newark and Seoul.

With Osaka, Shanghai, Tokyo and Washington, Lufthansa will re-launch four more intercontinental routes from Munich in August. This will bring the total number of long-haul connections offered by Lufthansa from Munich to 13 – all operated by Airbus A350 aircraft. United Airlines has resumed its scheduled service to San Francisco and will increase its routes to Washington and Chicago to a daily operation before the end of June. From the beginning of July, United will also reinstate its flights from Munich to Newark.

Due to the easing of pandemic-related restrictions, the choice of restaurants and stores at Munich Airport is also growing: many of the restaurants have also reopened inside, and numerous stores at the airport are once again welcoming customers.
