Munich Airport adding capacity to handle air cargo boom
14 May 2007
With the construction of the new building for freight forwarding companies, Munich Airport's operating company, FMG, is assuring itself of adequate infrastructure in the near future that will allow it to handle an anticipated massive growth in airfreight volume.
Between 1992 and 2006 Munich Airport has quadrupled the volume of airfreight that it handles, from barely 100,000 tonnes to more than 400,000 metric tonnes.
"Compared with our first year of operation, airfreight tonnage has increased in the space of 15 years by a whopping 314 per cent," FMG executive vice-president Walter Vill said at the groundbreaking ceremony.
