Koch + Partner: expansion of baggage satellite facility

Koch + Partner: expansion of baggage satellite facility. Munich-based architects Koch + Partner have won the general planning tendering process for the expansion of Munich Airport’s Terminal 2 baggage satellite facility.

Benefiting from strong sustained passenger traffic growth in recent years, Munich Airport has become Europe’s 7th and the world’s 28th busiest passenger hub with 34 million passengers annually. Due to this growth, the Munich Airport operating company, FMG, is now in the process of planning infrastructure expansion in order to accommodate the forecasted 56 million passengers who will be using Munich Airport by 2020.

Together with Deutsche Lufthansa, FMG launched an international tendering process for general planning in October 2006 for the expansion of the Terminal 2 baggage handling satellite into a passenger facility. Five professional, globally active airport planners qualified for the tender.
