Dialogue management: Dealing with feedback professionally / GRI 2-29

The central dialogue management team quickly responds to, categorizes, and analyzes all customer feedback on a case-by-case basis. This office deals with constructive criticism and positive feedback, in addition to complaints. In order to develop optimal process solutions for air travelers and to derive improvements where necessary, the departments, authorities, and system partners involved in the passenger experience chain are closely connected.

Dialog management recorded a total of 3,277 complaints in 2023. This is 44.23 % more than in 2022. This increase is due to a number of irregularities in air traffic following the corona pandemic. In addition, there were industry-wide strikes that affected flight operations and services. In 2023, Munich Airport recorded a relative complaint rate of 89 complaints per million passengers handled. A large proportion of the complaints were related to airlines and baggage handling. The focus was on baggage reclaiming, tracing, and delivery. In addition, extreme weather conditions made handling on the apron and in the terminal area more difficult.

As part of Corporate Security, the Airport Rescue and Firefighting service on the premises of the airport in Munich is responsible for fire safety and for technical assistance in the area of fire safety in aircraft and buildings. With qualified rescue service personnel and its own rescue vehicles, it provides 24-hour emergency assistance for passengers, visitors, and employees, and performs safety monitoring for work and events involving a fire hazard. From the two fire stations, the 50 firefighters present – the number of personnel on 24-hour duty as authorized by the licensing authority – can reach any point on the flight operations grounds within 180 seconds, thus meeting the prescribed response times for aircraft fire protection. The extinguishing capacity for aircraft fire protection meets the requirements of the highest category 10 of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for each runway.

  1. Flughafen München GmbH calculates its carbon footprint on the basis of the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. For Scope 3, FMG reports on – for its business model – relevant sub-sectors. In addition, the principle of operational control is applied. To the extent that they are subject to emissions trading, conversion parameters, such as heat values and emission factors in particular, are determined according to the provisions of the German Emissions Trading Authority (DEHSt). Other conversion parameters are based on the latest publications from the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA).
  2. EFM: Company for de-icing and aircraft towing at Munich Airport; associated company
  3. Reporting of Scope 2 emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance (2015) using the «location-based» method based on BRD domestic consumption, electricity mix, and district heating mix emission factors. Net Scope 2 emissions with specific emission factors are 0.459 kg/kWh for electricity and 0.213 kg/kWh for district heating from fossil fuels (Source: UBA). The total district heating supply consists of fossil district heating and district heating from biomass with the specific emission factor of 0 kg/kWh.
  4. 59 % electricity from renewable energies (as of 2022 according to Section 42 of the German Energy Act (EnWG)).
  5. Estimated value based on previous years: 75 % of the district heating is obtained from biomass directly from the biomass heating plant at the Zolling site.

  14. Calculated from aircraft movements using the LASPORT model, subsequently taking into account the APU emissions prevented by using PCA systems.
  15. Feeder traffic includes road traffic caused by air travelers, visitors, and employees in the airport area calculated according to ACA.
  16. Since 2021, the calculation has taken into account an increased radius: CO₂ emissions from the arrival and departure traffic of employees, passengers, and people traveling at the airport. In the case of employees, only the route to the workplace at the Munich Airport campus is considered.
  17. Errors identified during the review of the data were subsequently corrected.

Power generation and procurement / GRI 305-1, GRI 305-2, GRI 305-5

With its own block heat and power plant, which is operated on the basis of the cogeneration of heat and power, Munich Airport generates around 80 % of its total electricity requirements as an energy supplier. The missing portion of approximately 20 % is procured and supplied to affiliated companies and third-party customers on campus. The cogeneration plant converts used natural gas into electrical energy and usable heat at the same time. Around 80 % of the waste heat generated during power generation covers the heating requirements of the airport campus. The airport procures the remaining required heating from the Freising district heating supply. Since the beginning of 2011, around half of the district heating procured has come from renewable biomass.

  1. Electricity consumption is responsible for more than 2/3 of the total CO₂ emissions caused by energy-induced processes at the airport (excluding airline emissions). Furthermore, it is only very slightly linked to weather conditions. For this reason, the power consumption per passenger is the most meaningful key figure for energy consumption at Munich Airport.
  2. The calculation of the energy intensity coefficient is related to the number of passengers. Due to the sharp drop in passenger numbers from 2020 onwards, the value differs greatly from pre-pandemic figures.

The total electricity consumption of all buildings and facilities, including the electricity transmitted through the grid, is counted as electricity consumption on the airport campus. This includes power consumption by FMG and its subsidiaries, consumption by external companies, and all losses at the low-voltage level.

  1. The measurement of CO₂ emissions per passenger allows a physically meaningful addition of the various forms of primary and secondary energy used at the airport in relation to passenger figures. Up to and including 2021, the calculation of the key figure is made up of CO₂ emissions from Scope 1, 2, and 3a (including the consumption of electricity, heating, cooling, natural gas, and fuels from external companies). Starting in 2022 – according to the current CO₂ strategy – the CO₂ emissions of Scope 1 and 2 will be added together without Scope 3a.
  2. The calculation of the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions is related to the number of passengers. Due to the sharp drop in passenger numbers from 2020 onwards, the value differs greatly from pre-pandemic figures.

According to the provisions of the planning approval decision, Munich Airport must examine the existing water management conditions in the area surrounding the airport. Securing evidence regarding the quantity (water level) and quality (water quality) of groundwater is particularly important. FMG measures the water levels of more than 300 groundwater and 17 surface water measurement points on an ongoing basis. Water quality is determined at 18 groundwater measuring points and eleven surface water measuring points. All implemented measures are summarized in a report, evaluated, and presented to the water authorities.

Hazardous goods: Inspections and training / GRI 306-4

Munich Airport generates water and environmentally hazardous substances as a result of its operations, which have to be transported away and then declared as hazardous goods. The vehicles used for transporting hazardous goods were inspected to verify that they are in proper condition and are roadworthy and safe to operate. Employee training on the handling of hazardous goods is held at regular intervals in accordance with legal regulations. In the reporting year 2023, a total of 223 tons of waste (previous year: 324 tons) was transported as declared hazardous goods for disposal.

Waste management / GRI 306-2

Flughafen München GmbH is authorized to conduct waste management independently on its site in accordance with the German Circular Economy Act. Avoidance of waste is an absolute priority. However, waste and scrap products are generated from the operation of the airport – across the board – and these are then collected where they occur in various separating systems, handed over to certified specialist businesses close to the airport, prepared in sorting plants, and then recycled. The small proportion of residual waste that cannot be recycled is converted by the Munich North power plant into district heating and power.

The majority of waste and scrap material is generated by affiliated companies as well as the companies and airlines based at the airport. The prerequisite for successful resource conservation is therefore a disposal concept tailored to the individual waste producer – from waste generation to recycling and disposal. FMG therefore provides regular information on current waste topics, gives tips on environmentally friendly conduct, and is on hand to offer advice.

Waste from aircraft / GRI 306-2

The waste (Category 1 material) from aircraft cabin interior cleaning and catering is disposed of or energetically recycled by a specialized waste disposal company at the waste incineration plant/power plant Munich North in accordance with EU Regulation 1069/2009 (Regulation on animal by-products).

The disposal service is not the responsibility of FMG and is conducted by a specialist contractor working on behalf of the Erding animal carcass disposal association.

Noise protection regulations

The main regulations for the aviation industry are defined on an international level. Under the umbrella organization that is the United Nations, the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) deals with the issue of reducing aircraft noise. The EU has similar objectives: With the «Flightpath 2050», it aims to reduce noise emissions by 65 % by 2050, starting from 2000. But the airport operator can also help to regulate this area. Loud aircraft without certificates to ICAO Annex 16 are not allowed to take off from or land at Munich Airport. The regulations are even stricter at night: The night-flight curfew at Munich Airport is based on a noise quota that takes into account the number of movements as well as the type and size of the aircraft. In 2023, the utilization rate of the noise quota was 50 %. The permissible continuous sound level of 50 dB(A) was not exceeded at any intersection of the flight corridors with the boundary line of the designated day/night protected area.

The assignment of the operating direction, in other words the decision as to whether the aircraft take off and land to the east or west, depends on the wind. This is because take-offs and landings usually take place against the prevailing wind direction. In addition, when using the runway system, FMG makes sure that the north and south runways are utilized as equally as possible.
