Our evolution - your gateway to airport excellence

In May 1992, Munich Airport achieved a groundbreaking milestone by relocating overnight from the city center Riem to its current site — a feat that set a new benchmark in airport operations worldwide. This success sparked global interest and laid the foundation for Munich Airport’s international expertise.

Today, we leverage this legacy to help airports around the world deliver flawless openings and smooth transitions through our pioneering "Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer" (ORAT) services. Our “Made in Germany” precision and reliability have become synonymous with seamless airport operations.

As our international footprint expanded, so did our range of services — covering every stage of an airport’s lifecycle, from planning and design to management and training. In 2017, we consolidated this expertise under Munich Airport International GmbH (MAI), a dedicated subsidiary focused entirely on delivering world-class airport consulting and operations worldwide.

With over 100 airport professionals globally, MAI partners with airport operators, infrastructure authorities, public authorities and governments to transform airport challenges into competitive advantages — ensuring your project’s success today and future growth tomorrow
