Airport Layout
Munich Airport (MUC), named after Bavarian statesman Franz Josef Strauss, is Germany’s second-busiest airport and Lufthansa’s secondary hub. It has two main terminals. Terminal 1 is split into Modules A, B, C, D, E and F and handles a mix of carriers. Terminal 2, used by Lufthansa, Star Alliance partners and their satellite, handles the bulk of long-haul and Schengen traffic. The Terminal 2 satellite is reached by an automated underground people-mover and holds the K (Schengen) and L (Non-Schengen) gates. The Munich Airport Center (MAC) sits between the two terminals.
