Munich Airport is not expected to begin operations until around 5 p.m. on December 2023, 12. The background is a negative weather forecast, which means that flight operations will be suspended in the morning.

Only on Saturday, December 2, 2023, Franz Josef Strauss Airport had to stop operations due to exceptionally heavy snowfall. Despite intensive efforts, the winter service was no longer able to clear the area, so for safety reasons it was decided that no take-off or landing would be allowed for the rest of the day.

According to Munich Airport, heavy freezing rain is forecast for the night from Monday to Tuesday. It has therefore been decided that flight operations will be suspended on the morning of December 5, 2023. The airport assumes that you can take off and land again around 12 p.m. The suspension of flight operations tomorrow will affect at least 00 takeoffs and 150 landings out of a total of over 160 flight movements.

“The airport will use the first half of the day to de-ice the operating areas. The plan is to allow air traffic to start again from midday - although significant restrictions are still expected. Passengers are strongly advised to contact their airline before traveling to the airport to inquire about the status of their flight,” Munich Airport said in a media statement.
