Munich Airport

Arrivals and departures, traced from ADS-B data.

Museum-quality gloss aluminum · fade-resistant · ready to hang.

Munich Airport (MUC) is Germany's second-busiest airport and one of Europe's major long-haul hubs, funneling passengers from Bavaria to destinations across five continents. This metal print maps that reach precisely, drawn from ADS-B flight tracking data. Every path is colorized by altitude, and the palette is yours to choose.

This print visualizes all 5,950 flights recorded May 17-23, 2026, the 34th anniversary of opening day, when 5,000 workers and 700 trucks relocated an entire airport in just 16 hours. Each flight is plotted from real ADS-B data and printed direct-to-metal on an aluminum panel, making this a piece of aviation wall art that captures both the rhythm of a living hub and the history of the move that started it all.

ADS-B Points

Munich Airport logged 5,950 flights across seven days in May 2026, averaging 850 movements per day and 35.4 per hour. The split between arrivals and departures was nearly identical: 2,959 arrivals against 2,991 departures. A total of 1,078 unique aircraft were tracked, drawn from registrations across more than 40 countries. German-registered aircraft accounted for 255 of them, with Turkish-registered aircraft second at 113. The busiest hour of the day was 16:00 CEST, which produced 442 total movements, 302 of them departures. The 12:00 and 09:00 hours were also heavy, at 440 and 415 respectively. Activity began as early as 02:48 and ran through 23:59, with near-zero traffic in the 02:00 and 03:00 hours. Friday May 22 was the busiest single day at 900 movements, while Tuesday May 19 was the lightest at 812. The top route pairing was Frankfurt, with 222 combined movements across the week. Hamburg, London Heathrow, Dusseldorf, and Paris CDG followed in order. Approach tracks came most heavily from the northwest (381) and WNW (334), with ESE and SE directions close behind at 326 and 325. Departure headings showed a similar northwest preference at 402, with SE second at 354. Cruise altitudes clustered between 35,000 and 39,000 feet, where the four busiest altitude bands all exceeded 160,000 ADS-B position reports each. The longest tracked flight covered 2,464 nautical miles and arrived from a Turkish-registered aircraft. The highest-altitude track, an Italian-registered arrival, reached 48,200 feet.

Reviews from customers across our airport print collection.

Great gift to commemorate trip!

We ordered the LHR image (aurora/light) as a gift for our son who is in college and training to be a commercial airline pilot. We had taken a family trip to London and this was the perfect gift for him. He loved the image, and immediately scanned the included QR code to review the flight data that is available to support each map. The quality and delivery timing were exceptional. We will definitely order more!

Thank you for your review, Nathan! We wish your son the best on his journey to becoming a pilot.

About the Airport

Munich Airport (MUC) opened on May 17, 1992, replacing Munich-Riem Airport, which had served the city since 1939. The transition was anything but routine. In a single overnight operation lasting just 16 hours, roughly 5,000 workers and 700 trucks transferred all operations from the old site in Riem to the new facility in Erdinger Moos, the largest airport relocation in European aviation history at the time. The new airport inherited the MUC IATA code from its predecessor on the day it opened.

Located 28.5 km northeast of Munich near the town of Freising, the airport sits in a flat expanse of former wetlands, with its entire terminal complex arranged between 2 parallel runways, each 4,000 meters long. That midfield layout, with Terminal 1 to the west, Terminal 2 to the east, and the Munich Airport Center connecting them, gives the campus an unusually coherent flow. Terminal 2, which opened in June 2003, was financed and is jointly operated by the airport and Lufthansa, a model unique in Europe. A satellite terminal connected to Terminal 2 via an underground people mover opened in April 2016, adding further gate capacity.

MUC is Lufthansa's secondary hub, and the airline's presence shapes the airport's character entirely. Terminal 2 and its satellite are reserved exclusively for Lufthansa and Star Alliance partners. By 2024, the airport handled 41.6 million passengers, ranking it second in Germany behind Frankfurt and eleventh in Europe. Long-haul routes to North America, East Asia, and the Gulf are well represented. The Munich Airport Center, which opened in 1999, includes what is claimed to be the world's first airport-owned brewery, Airbräu, a detail that says something about the airport's Bavarian confidence.
