Project "Third Runway"
The planning approval decision for the construction of a third runway was issued by the General Administration of the Free State of Bavaria on July 5, 2011. With this decision, the approval authority confirmed the planning application for the third runway including the sub-projects after intensive examination and consideration of all aspects of the expansion project.
In July 2015, the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig dismissed the last appeals against the project and finally ruled that Munich Airport's plans fulfill all technical and legal requirements. The building permit is thus legally binding and valid.
In its 2023 coalition agreement, the governing coalition of CSU and FREIE WÄHLER in Bavaria agreed to a moratorium on the construction of the third runway until the end of the current legislative period.
