MUNICH AIRPORT CELEBRATES OKTOBERFEST

Tourists from all over the world will descend on Munich over the next 16 days to celebate the world's largest beer festival, Oktoberfest, and for many the fun will start and end at Munich Airport!

Indeed, the German gateway promises that the sights, sounds and tastes of Oktoberfest can be enjoyed at Munich Airport. 

Numerous employees swap out their uniforms for a traditional dirndl dress or lederhosen and our airport brew master offers a special festival beer created just for the occasion. 

While inventive Oktoberfest events and activities offer fun for the entire family. 

The celebrations even go airborne: for the 12th straight year, Lufthansa's popular 'Oktoberfest crew' will delight international passengers on a variety of routes by donning traditional Bavarian costumes in the airline's corporate colours.

Oktoberfest is also celebrated in Munich Airport’s shops and restaurants.

Airbräu – the airport brewery – has tapped their specially created beer Gaudium for the start of the Oktoberfest on September 21. 

Many shops offer special Oktoberfest clothes and souvenirs. Munich Airport expects 2.5 million passengers during the 16 days of Oktoberfest.
