Germany: Munich’s half-year passenger total tops 20m for the first time

Over the first 6 months of 2017, Munich Airport posted the best half-yearly figures in its history: with the 21m passengers handled during that period, the airport topped the 20m mark for the first time. That number matches the full-year figure for 1999. In relative terms, passenger traffic was up by around 6% as compared with the same period in 2016. As in the previous year, the airport again had a 4% increase in total take-offs and landings to approximately 200,000. The airport says its substantial traffic increases are largely down to the strength of its European traffic segment, which rose 8% year-on-year. Passenger traffic in the intercontinental segment and on domestic routes was up by 6% and 4%, respectively. <br/>
