New records for passenger traffic and load factor:
Munich Airport earns 95 million euro profit
Flughafen München GmbH (FMG) can look back at a very successful year in
2013 in terms of passenger figures and business results: Based on
preliminary figures, the FMG Group achieved total earnings after taxes
(EAT) of 95 million euros. As a result, FMG's earnings in 2013 and Group
sales, at approximately 1.2 billion euros, were at the previous year's levels.
Cash flow, a vital factor for investments, increased by 24 million euros to 465
million euros.
In view of the difficult economic conditions in Europe and the cost-cutting
programmes being implemented by many European airlines, Dr. Michael
Kerkloh, the CEO of FMG, expressed satisfaction with the stable
performance of Munich Airport: "Our ongoing economic success enhances
our capital market viability as well as the investment capability we will need
in particular for our strategic expansion projects.
The 38.7 million passengers counted in 2013 represent a new record. The
average aircraft load factor was up 0.7 percentage points to 75.2 percent –
the highest level recorded since the airport went into operation in 1992. The
average number of seats offered per flight increased from 138 to 144.
In total about 382,000 take-offs and landings took place in 2013: a decrease
of 4 percent from the previous year. Again in 2013, many airlines were able
to absorb the higher passenger demand by adjusting their fleets through a
switch to larger aircraft in the short and medium-haul segments. In the
airfreight segment, the results at Munich Airport in 2013 were close to the
previous year's levels. Total airfreight turnover amounted to about 270,000
tons.
As in the past, hub traffic proved to be a stabilizing factor last year. The
airport held the share of connecting passengers at the previous year's level
of 39 percent. Also unchanged were the number of destinations served and
the number of seats offered. The strongest growth in passenger traffic was
seen in the European and intercontinental segments, which both posted
gains of about 2 percent. By contrast, the number of passengers flying on
domestic routes in Germany declined by approximately 3 percent. This was
due to the aviation tax, among other factors.
With its traffic figures for 2013, Munich Airport was able to solidify its
competitive position at the international level. In terms of passenger traffic,
the Bavarian hub was the seventh busiest airport in Europe in 2013, as in
2012, and ranked number 30 in the world.

Summer timetable features attractive new intercontinental destinations:
Non-stop flights from Munich to Mexico City and Houston
Sunday March 30, 2014 marks the start of the new summer timetable at
Munich Airport. This year it will remain in effect until October 25, 2014. For
the new 30-week timetable period, airlines have booked slots for
approximately 220,000 take-offs and landings. Travelers can choose from
among 229 destinations in 63 countries around the world. In addition to 17
German airports and 167 medium-range routes, scheduled services will be
available to 45 intercontinental destinations.
Lufthansa is introducing two new intercontinental routes: starting on April 3,
five weekly flights will be available to Mexico City, and as of June 5 there will
be seven departures a week for Canada's leading commercial center,
Toronto. In addition, United Airlines will begin flying to Houston, Texas on
April 25 on a daily basis. As of June 6 Air China will add Shanghai, with four
flights a week, to the destinations it serves from Munich. Etihad has doubled
its services from Munich to Abu Dhabi since the beginning of February and
now offers two daily departures to the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
With the start of the summer timetable, Emirates will operate both of its daily
flights to Dubai with the Airbus A380 – currently the world's largest airliner.
The Munich to Tokyo flight by Lufthansa and its Star Alliance partner ANA
will no longer land at Narita Airport, and instead will fly to Haneda Airport,
which is much closer to the city center.
Air Dolomiti will depart twice a day in the coming summer season for Milan's
Bergamo Airport. Air Europa will also be flying twice a day to the Spanish
capital of Madrid. With Aegean Airlines, passengers can book flights to the
Greek islands of Crete (Heraklion), Corfu and Rhodes. Adria Airways is
adding Lodz, one of Poland's largest cities, to its schedule with six weekly
departures. The Israeli airline El Al will offer three new weekly flights to Tel
Aviv for a total of 11. Icelandair is expanding its service to Reykjavik from
five to six weekly flights.
The budget carrier Norwegian is adding two new holiday destinations in
Spain, and will now fly to Alicante and Tenerife as well as Las Palmas and
Malaga. In another new service offered in Munich, Royal Air Maroc will
operate three weekly flights to Casablanca. TAP Portugal is substantially
bolstering its services to Lisbon and will operate 19 flights a week to the
Portuguese capital this summer. The Russian carrier S7 Airlines is adding
four new weekly departures to Moscow's Domodedovo Airport to raise the
frequency to three flights a day. Another airline expanding its offerings for
holidaymakers is the Spanish budget carrier Vueling, which will fly four and
seven times a week, respectively, to the Balearic islands of Ibiza and
Mallorca, along with its daily service to Barcelona. Vueling will also depart
once a day from Munich to Rome.

CHECK
AGAINST
DELIVERY
Statement by Dr. Michael Kerkloh, CEO of Munich
Airport, at the FMG annual press conference on
March 21, 2014
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today I'm here to inform you about the traffic results,
business performance and other important topics for
Munich Airport. I'd like to begin, however, with a few words
Court affirms planning
permission for third
runway
about the decision by the Bavarian Administrative Court
four weeks ago on the planning permission ruling on the
third runway. The court confirmed that the ruling, in its
entirety, is in full compliance with the law. For us, as the
airport operating company, this decision is enormously
significant. It secures the long-term development prospects
and future opportunities of Munich Airport. After an
Project meets all
operational and legal
requirements
intensive and detailed assessment of all aspects of the
approximately 2,800-page planning permission ruling, an
independent court has determined that the official permit,
and therefore the expansion project itself, meet all
operational and legal standards applicable to an
infrastructure project of this kind.
When we consider the scope and complexity of these
expansion plans, the ruling by the judges is first and
Proper protections
guaranteed for people
and nature
foremost an affirmation of the high quality of the planning
documents submitted by FMG. For me, the main message
from the court is that we have given appropriate
consideration to all aspects relevant to a project of this
kind, including the extensive measures to protect humans
and the environment. Moreover, this ruling contains a clear
2
statement on certain claims and criticisms repeatedly put
forward by opponents of the expansion project, especially
in the lead-up to the referendum against the planning
permission ruling. After all, these ostensible
counterarguments were also cited by the plaintiffs in the
court proceedings, but – unlike our project planning –
obviously did not stand up to a court review. We therefore
find it highly regrettable that the Munich residents could not
be aware of this court ruling at the time of the referendum.
That's all I have to say at the outset on the outcome of the
court proceedings on the third runway before turning now
New record:
38.7 million
passengers
to our current traffic figures. In 2013 Munich Airport again
closed out the year with a new all-time record for
passenger traffic: With approximately 38.7 million
passengers, we topped the previous year's figure by
approximately 300,000, or 1 percent. Demand for flights to
and from Munich Airport thus continues to increase, even if
the gains are relatively moderate at present. In any case,
the fact that we can again report a new traffic record
despite the difficult conditions faced by our entire industry
is a real achievement for Munich Airport.
We can also report a new record for the average load
Load factor tops
75 percent
factor of aircraft operating in Munich, which exceeded 75
percent for the first time last year. This represents the
highest utilization of available seats on flights to and from
Munich since our airport first went into operation in 1992.
3
The increasing demand and rising passenger numbers are
not reflected at the moment in the number of aircraft
movements. The number of take-offs and landings
decreased by 4 percent last year to 382,000. The reason
behind the opposing trends in passenger numbers and
aircraft movements is that many airlines are transitioning
their fleets to larger aircraft in the short and medium-haul
segments. For example, the 112-seat Embraer 195, which
is replacing such 70-seat aircraft as the Canadair CRJ7,
the Dash8 and the ATR72 for many airlines, has since
become the most frequently seen aircraft at our airport.
The average MTOM – maximum take-off mass – of planes
serving Munich Airport is also a good indicator of the
switch to larger aircraft. It was up 2.5 tons in 2013 to a new
Avg. no. of seats per
flight rises to 144
record of 78.8 tons. Similarly, the average number of seats
per plane in Munich increased by six to 144.
Through the partial replacement of fleets and the use of
larger aircraft, the airlines were able to meet the stronger
demand despite the reduced number of take-offs and
landings. The airlines have already come quite far with
these fleet adaptations, however. That is why – although
we expect this year's increase in passenger numbers to be
accompanied again by a small decline in aircraft
Turnaround for aircraft
movements in sight
movements – we also see clear signs of a turnaround in
that trend.
The planes that the airlines are now putting into service will
naturally remain in operation for many years. Replacing
them again with even larger aircraft is therefore not an
option. Consequently, it is foreseeable that the projected
4
rise in passenger demand in the coming years will again
result in a steady increase in take-offs and landings. In
Germany alone, according to forecasts by the German
Airports Association (ADV), annual traffic will grow from
200 million passengers today to 300 million in 2025. This
shows that, in principle, nothing has changed regarding the
necessity to adapt Munich Airport to the increasing
demands of air traffic by expanding the runway system to
meet the requirements.
At this point I wish to state very clearly once more that,
again in 2013, with our existing runway system, our airport
Runway system
stretched to limits at
peak periods
frequently operated at the limits of its capacity during peak
periods despite the decreases in aircraft movements. For
additional take-offs and landings requested by airlines
during those times, there are no slots available.
Incidentally, a representative of the airport coordinator of
the Federal Republic of Germany explicitly reaffirmed this
state of affairs in her testimony during the proceedings
before the Bavarian Administrative Court.
It is therefore misleading when certain people constantly
compare the real trend in aircraft movements with alleged
Further growth
impossible without
capacity crunch
annual figures from the demand forecast. The demand
forecast assumes growth without bottlenecks, which is no
longer possible at Munich Airport due to the existing
capacity shortages. As a result, the current traffic does not
reflect the real demand trend, but rather the effects of our
lack of capacity.
But let's return to the traffic figures for 2013, which must
also be seen in the context of the residual effects of the
5
euro crisis and the declining economic output in many
European countries. We have indeed experienced
negative economic growth in the European Union and the
eurozone over the past two years. Another burden on
Extra burden: aviation
tax
Germany's competitiveness in the aviation industry is the
aviation tax, which the new federal government has
regrettably chosen to leave in place despite original plans
to the contrary. Against the backdrop of weak revenues,
many airlines have implemented extensive consolidation
measures and cost-cutting programs. The bankruptcies of
OLT and Sky Airlines also resulted in route cancellations in
Munich.
Munich Airport's ability to stay mostly on course, despite
negative factors, and to have yet another profitable year
can be attributed above all to the hub traffic in Munich,
which once more proved to be a stabilizing factor in 2013.
The share of connecting passengers remained unchanged,
Connecting passenger
at 39 percent. We maintained our full range of destinations
quota still at 39 percent
and the total number of seats offered also matched the
previous year's level. The average number of passengers
carried per flight increased by five to a new record of 109.
Munich Airport upheld its ranking among international
airports. As in 2012, we were again number seven in terms
of passenger traffic among the busiest airports in Europe
and 30th in the global rankings.
Before I turn to our financial results, let me briefly remind
you that, for last year's consolidated financial statements,
we made the transition from the accounting standards of
HGB (German GAAP) to IFRS (International Financial
Reporting Standards) in order to permit comparisons at the
6
international level and to improve our company's ability to
gain access to capital markets.
Our Group's strong performance – based on preliminary
figures – is reflected in earnings after tax (EAT) of
Group sales at
previous year's level
of €1.2bn
95 million euros, and thus matches the previous year's
result. Group revenues, at just under 1.2 billion euros, are
also close to the 2012 figure.
Among the major beneficiaries of Munich Airport's strong
results are the neighboring municipalities, which can look
forward to higher business tax revenues. For 2013 we will
pay out a total of almost 30 million euros in business tax to
nearby communities: an increase of more than 5 million
over the previous year.
The year-on-year decrease in our operating results –
EBITDA and EBIT – reflects special and non-recurrent
effects, among other factors. For example, a provision of
8 million euros was formed in the Ground Handling division
in 2013, whereas a one-off revenue item of 11 million was
shown as income in the previous year. The 2012 financial
statements also contain a one-off payment for an
insurance claim amounting to 8 million euros. And finally,
also on a positive note, we can report a significant
increase in cash flow from operations to 465 million euros.
With the 2013 results, Munich Airport remains one of the
Munich one of the
few profitable airports
in Germany
few airports in Germany currently earning profits. This is
unlikely to change in 2014, as we expect to post positive
results again this year in a similar order of magnitude. Our
ongoing economic success enhances our capital market
7
viability as well as the investment capability we will need in
particular for our strategic expansion projects.
The largest current expansion project is of course the
construction of the satellite terminal on the eastern apron.
Satellite terminal
taking shape
The first phase of the facility is designed to handle
11 million passengers per year. Like the existing
Terminal 2, it will be built, financed and jointly operated by
FMG and Lufthansa, with 60/40 stakes, respectively. The
linear-configuration midfield satellite will have 52 gates on
three levels, offering convenient passenger access to
aircraft at 27 contact gates.
Last September, we were already able to celebrate the
topping-out ceremony for the new passenger facility. In
June of last year we started the interior finishing work and
the rough installation of technical equipment. At present,
the roof and facade are progressing well and are due for
completion by the middle of this year. At the 27 aircraft
park positions adjacent to the terminal, the access
structures for the passenger jet bridges are now being put
in place.
As we reach an advanced stage in our capacity expansion
project for Terminal 2 – that is, after all, the purpose of the

satellite building – we are still in the planning phase for our
next big project to develop passenger facilities. I'm talking
about the refurbishment of Terminal 1, which will greatly
enhance its attractiveness as a handling facility. We will
create additional capacity as well as expanding this
terminal's functionality.

Our plan is to merge the previously separate Modules A

and B in Terminal 1. The project will greatly improve the
efficiency of the passport and security screening along with
the baggage claim for non-Schengen passengers and will
also create a new, central shopping area. Terminal 1 will
be extended 22 meters into the ramp area on two levels.
The extension will cover the service road between the
terminal and the western apron. However, the aircraft park
positions and jet bridges will be retained. We will also use
the newly acquired space for a central border control
station and new lounges. At present, the EU-wide calls for

tenders for the project management work and the planning
activities are underway. The investment volume for this
project will be in the hundreds of millions. From today's
perspective, construction could begin as soon as 2016.
I can't give you a timetable with regard to the third runway,
however, although we now have a court ruling confirming
the planning permission. Apart from the fact that the
plaintiffs have announced that they will appeal the ruling by
the Bavarian Administrative Court, we also need a decision
on construction by our three shareholders before going
ahead with the project. The city of Munich, which has a
23 percent stake in FMG, is bound as a shareholder by the
outcome of the referendum of June 2012 to vote against
Referendum no longer
legally binding
the project. Although the referendum ceased to be legally
binding nine months ago, the leadership at city hall states
that it still considers itself bound by the vote.
What position the city of Munich will take in the future on
this matter – after supporting it constantly and consistently
voting in favor of it in shareholder meetings over a seven-
9
year period, from the start of the project in 2005 until the
referendum of June 2012 – remains to be seen. As the
Munich Airport operating company, we at FMG can only
reiterate that, for our airport's future-readiness and
competitiveness as a key component of this country's
transportation infrastructure, the construction of this third
runway is crucial.
Ladies and gentlemen,
To see that Munich Airport is very well positioned to

features attractive
new intercontinental
destinations
continue its successful growth and development in 2014,
we only need to look at the new summer timetable that will
come into effect at the end of next week. Especially in the
intercontinental segment, travelers have some very
exciting new routes to choose from. We're delighted that
Lufthansa is launching a new non-stop service to Mexico
City, with five weekly departures.
This represents the first-ever scheduled service between
Munich and the Mexican capital. That is very good news
for travelers in the state of Bavaria as well as Bavarian
companies doing business in Latin America. This is part of
Lufthansa's plan to gradually develop intercontinental
traffic to and from Munich. The new daily intercontinental
connection to Toronto, which Lufthansa plans to start in
early June, is also part of that plan.
United Airlines, a Star Alliance partner of Lufthansa, is also

adding a new North American destination with a daily nonstop flight to Houston, Texas: another genuine first for
Munich Airport. Air China, already with a well-established
10
scheduled service to Beijing, will now be flying from
Munich to Shanghai as well. Etihad already doubled its
service to Abu Dhabi to two daily flights in early February.
Emirates, which has offered two daily flights to Dubai for
some time now, will be adding an evening departure with
an Airbus A380. Starting this summer, the Munich to Tokyo
flight by the Japanese carrier ANA will land at Haneda
Airport, which is much closer to the city center than Narita
Airport.
As you can see, in terms of the quality of global
connections for Bavaria, the new flight schedule once
Further quality

connectivity
again brings significant gains in terms of mobility and
access. This will benefit the state of Bavaria and especially
its capital, Munich, in many ways – as a strong business
center, a tourist region popular with travelers from all over
the world, and as a magnet for investors from Germany
and abroad.
I would like to stress yet again at this point that these
enormous economic benefits generated by our airport are
not a mere coincidence; nor can they be taken for granted.
The Munich hub is the outcome of a far-sighted
infrastructure policy and massive efforts undertaken by
Munich Airport and Lufthansa that began 20 years ago.
Since the mid-1990s, Munich Airport has gradually
developed into a thriving European air transportation hub.
This summer, passengers will be able to fly from Munich to
Flights available from
Munich to 230
worldwide destinations
230 cities around the world, including 45 intercontinental
destinations. By the same token, that means that Munich is
seen around the world as an attractive destination in
11
Germany that is also very easy to get to. This puts it ahead
of other German metropolises, from Hamburg and Cologne
to Berlin.
Those who want to see more chapters in this success
story will have to keep developing the airport in line with
demand as a key component in our transportation
infrastructure and ensure that the necessary capacity is
there to meet the demands of tomorrow. With the third
runway, the airlines operating in Munich will also have the
opportunity to gradually expand their routes, especially in
the intercontinental segment. That means that Bavaria will
become even more accessible for the rest of the world.
The people of Bavaria and the export-driven business

markets all over the world.
The economic and employment effects of this growth in
travel opportunities are diverse and far-reaching. They
extend from the airport itself, which now already provides
employment for more than 32,000 people through the
many contractors and suppliers operating there, as well as
all of the companies that derive tangible competitive
advantages from their proximity to the airport.
Any discussion of transportation infrastructure must
Improved rail links
needed
naturally mention the urgent need for better rail links to
Munich Airport. There is definitely some good news on this
front, in particular with regard to the 'Erding ring', in other
words the planned Erding-Freising S-Bahn rail connection
via the airport. Work is scheduled to begin this fall on the

"Neufahrn Curve":

airport. This part of the route, which will also create a direct
link to the airport from the North-East of Bavaria, is due for
completion in the fall of 2018. Things won't go quite as fast
for the track from the airport to Erding, but at least the
planning permission process for the first segment will soon
be underway.
There is no good news, however, regarding the connection
from the airport to the main railway station in Munich. It is
regrettable but true that, since the day – almost exactly six
years ago as I speak – when the Transrapid project was
declared dead, basically nothing – absolutely nothing –
has happened that might have helped to improve the
networking of intercity rail and air travel at Munich Airport.
Of course it would be a good thing for us, too, as the
airport operating company, if passengers from Stuttgart
and Nuremberg making connections here were arriving by
train, and not by air. But they won't do that until they are
offered a reasonably convenient and efficient railway
connection. That's why we definitely need an express link
to the main station in Munich.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Last November we presented our new brand identity to our
New core brand
message:
Living ideas –
connecting lives
employees, customers, partners and the general public,
and today you can see our new visual identity at various
locations. "Living ideas – connecting lives": that is our new
core brand message and the essence of our corporate
identity. Under this guiding principle, and after the launch
13
of our new brand, we began four months ago to pool our
forces as an airport group. Now we can sense that our
brand message has found its way into all parts of the FMG
Group and is having a very positive impact on the
motivation and confidence of our employees.
Permit me now, in closing, to sum up briefly: Thanks to the
Munich Airport
achieves its
business objectives
continuing growth in passenger demand, Munich Airport
can report successful results for 2013. A major contributing
factor to the stable traffic trend was hub traffic. The airport
also achieved its objectives from a business standpoint
and, with pre-tax earnings of about 95 million euros, also
posted a healthy profit.
The expansion of our passenger capacity through the
construction of a satellite terminal and the plans to
refurbish Terminal 1 are well underway. As for the third
runway, FMG has done its homework with regard to the
approval process and court proceedings. Now it's up to the
politicians. To see that Munich Airport is still very attractive
to airlines and passengers, you only have to look at our
new summer timetable and the new destinations now
available.
Thank you.

Attractive new long-haul connections
Airlines have booked slots for approximately 220,000 take-offs and landings for this
year's summer timetable period at Munich Airport. Travellers can choose from
among 229 destinations in 63 countries around the world. In addition to 17 German
airports and 167 medium-range routes, scheduled services will be available to 45
intercontinental destinations. Lufthansa is introducing two new intercontinental
routes: starting on April 3, five weekly flights will be available to Mexico City, and as
of June 5 there will be seven departures a week for Canada's leading commercial
center, Toronto. United Airlines will be operating a daily flight to Houston, Texas
from the end of April. With the addition of flights to Shanghai to complement its existing Beijing service, Air China will now serve two Chinese cities from Munich.

New records for passenger traffic and aircraft load factors
In 2013, 38.7 million passengers – about 1 percent more than in 2012 – chose Munich Airport as the arrival or departure point for their journey – a new all-time high.
The airport also set a new record for the average aircraft load factor. In 2013, flights
were 75 percent full on average. This represents an increase of almost a full percentage point in the load factor to over 75 percent: the highest level since the airport went into operation in 1992.

Heavy traffic in peak periods
Capacity crunch in the Munich Airport runway system: At peak periods, line-ups for
both runways have become a common sight. Traffic back-ups on the taxiways and
in the air cause avoidable emissions. These bottlenecks – now a daily occurrence –
can be eliminated when the planned third runway goes into operation. This would
allow approximately 120 take-offs and landings per hour, as opposed to just 90 today.

Satellite taking shape
The future Terminal 2 satellite facility is beginning to take shape: Work on the facade and the central area is nearing completion, and the bridges for the 27 passenger jetways are being attached one by one. The future position of the apron tower
within the building is already clearly visible. Interior finishing and the installation of
heating and other technical equipment are well underway. By the middle of this year
the facade and the roof of the satellite terminal will be completely closed in. The
new facility will increase Munich Airport's handling capacity by about 11 million passengers a year.
