Terminal 2 was specifically designed as a hub terminal for Lufthansa and Star Alliance partners.
The airport has two parallel runways. A planned third runway has been the subject of long-term legal and political disputes. The airport features its own brewery, Airbräu, offering travelers authentic Bavarian beer and food. It is praised for its ease of connections and pleasant atmosphere.
