To ensure safe travelling, Munich Airport is preparing for a rebound in air traffic and increasing passenger figures.
Travelers will be informed of rules of conduct through regular announcements, posters, video screens, and heavier staff presence and hand sanitiser will be provided to passengers. The frequency of cleaning will be increased and surfaces will be disinfected in all areas of the airport. Passengers and employees are required to wear face masks at Munich Airport effective immediately. The obligation to wear masks was mandated by the authorities, and it applies in all airport terminal buildings.
At check-in, security check and all other areas where passengers can become backed up, lines and floor markings are used as wayfinding to ensure passengers adhere to the minimum distances. Plexiglas panels have also been installed wherever passengers and employees are in direct contact. In order to prevent lines from forming, all passengers are advised to check-in online if possible. There is a new service for passengers in Terminal 2. It houses six vending machines ? four prior to security and two in the gate area ? that can be used to purchase face masks, disinfectant wipes, and other sanitary products.
?We anticipate that as the coronavirus restrictions are eased, the demand for air travel will rise and supply on the airline side will increase again. At the same time, we strive to offer the highest safety to passengers and employees while also providing travelers with the high standard of service they are accustomed to,? explained Jost Lammers, CEO of Flughafen M?nchen GmbH.
