Munich Airport and Lufthansa are already looking to the time after Corona.
The “hub of the south” should return to its former strength as quickly as possible - and in a more climate-friendly manner than it is today.
Munich - Air traffic is on the ground in the Corona crisis, Lufthansa is losing half a million euros per hour.
Nevertheless, CEO Carsten Spohr and Jost Lammers, head of Munich Airport, are already looking at the time after the pandemic.
Then Germany's number two airport should return to its old strength and even grow again from 2024.
Both companies announced this on Tuesday.
In December 2019, a quarter of a year before the first lockdown, FMG and Lufthansa signed a growth declaration for the airport in Erdinger Moos.
They have now confirmed this.
One goal is "to restore the strength of the fleet," says a press release.
The crane line wants to station up to 30 long-haul aircraft again and revitalize its European network.
The word expansion is also used.
So it remains with the - long-term - plan to expand the satellite of the jointly operated Terminal 2 by another gate.
FMG and Lufthansa are committed to their climate protection goals.
It is well known that Munich Airport should be climate-neutral by 2035.
The strategy includes the "prompt" use of synthetic and thus climate-neutral fuels.
Lammers said: “We will get through the dry spell together.” Spohr added: “We stand by our premium hub in Munich without any ifs or buts
