Munich Airport updates progress on new Terminal 1 pier – Business Traveller
Munich Airport has published an update on its forthcoming new pier at Terminal 1, with construction expected to be completed at the end of 2025.
The exterior facade of the building was finished last year, and the airport is now progressing with the interior fit-out.
Munich Airport – which is investing a total of €665 million in the project – said that following the completion of construction “extensive testing” would still need to be carried out before the building could be commissioned for use.
The 360-metre-long pier will become home to the airport’s non-Schengen carriers, including AA, British Airways, Delta, Emirates, Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways.
Three floors of the six-storey building will be used for passengers – Level 03 for immigration control, baggage reclaim and bus gates, Level 04 for the pier’s marketplace and departure gates, and Level 05 for the arrivals area, passport control and security checkpoints, which will use next-generation CT scanners.
The pier will be able to accommodate up to 12 smaller or six wide-bodied aircraft at any one time.
