Partnership: the airport as a corporate citizen
Survey: a look at the airport
Munich Airport is an integral part of the region. 63 percent of those who took part in the survey «The airport from the perspective of its neighbors» agreed with this statement. In 2023, FMG commissioned a market research institute to conduct over a thousand interviews with residents from 49 surrounding communities. The citizens surveyed rated the airport and the living situation in the region as predominantly positive.

Engagement: support for a broad range of projects
In 2023, the airport once again supported regional associations and charitable institutions. We support numerous projects in the areas of sports, culture, education, and social affairs. For example, we sponsored sports tournaments and supported the adult education centers in Erding and Freising. Many cultural events took place with the financial support of the airport, including the Uferlos Festival in Freising, the Glonntal Festival in Markt Indersdorf, and the Wartenberg Summer of Culture.
Housing: a wide range of accommodation for employees
As a responsible employer, we also provide housing for employees. The current offering ranges from dormitories and furnished apartments, also for temporary use, to residential and multi-family houses in various furnishing and price categories, to an employee hotel with around 300 beds where newly hired employees can live temporarily. Additional studies and development projects are underway to adapt the portfolio to the growing demand. For example, we are currently examining medium and long-term options for the realization of new construction projects on our own land in our neighboring communities.
Munich Airport Association: a strong commitment to Ukraine
A commitment to Ukraine was the top priority for the Munich Airport Association in 2023. Several shipments with numerous relief supplies such as blankets, school furniture, firewood, medical equipment, and hygiene products were sent to Ukraine. Water treatment plants and emergency power generators were also provided. Support was provided to a facility for the disabled, a children’s clinic, and a children’s home, among others. In February and March 2023, the airport association helped in the earthquake regions in Turkey and Syria. Not only did the association organize the collection of material and goods donations, it also had two teams on site and provided containers. Another of the Airport Association’s important projects in 2023 was the so-called «Silent Help» for employees and their relatives who have fallen on hard times or fallen ill through no fault of their own. Since 2016, the association, which was founded by employees and friends of FMG 26 years ago, has carried the DZI seal of quality and trust in the German donation system.
