Overview

• Lufthansa reports that more than 70% of its Munich flights are on time, the best result there since 2014, according to executive Heiko Reitz.
• Reitz said the airline has brought local handling problems under control after years of delays, long queues and tens of thousands of stranded bags.
• The improvement is attributed to targeted crisis-management steps and to Munich Airport’s higher security capacity, with significantly more screening lanes than a year ago.
• A security bottleneck during the 2024 Oktoberfest caused hundreds to miss flights, underscoring the need for the upgrades now in place.
• Terminal 2 is operated jointly by Lufthansa and the Munich airport company, and Reitz indicated punctuality could still improve slightly.
