Global connectivity

REFLECTING Munich’s growing role in the global airfreight industry, the international business subsidiary of Munich Airport, Munich Airport International (MAI), strengthened its commitment to the Asian aviation market at the end of 2022.

Opening a regional office in Singapore, MAI showed how the region has been a key market for the hub. MAI’s involvement in Asia dates back to the mid-1990s when the first international project was managed at Kuala Lumpur’s new capital airport.

Other projects would follow in India, Japan, Nepal and Thailand. The office in Singapore is a significant step for MAI, as it works to bring itself closer to customers, gaining a greater understanding of their regional needs and providing the ability to respond more effectively to market dynamics.

Although heavily impacted by the Covid pandemic, the Asia-Pacific region is still recognised as the fastest-growing region for new development in the airline and airfreight industry.

“Our Singapore office is the next milestone in MAI’s strategic growth in the region and a clear proof of our strong and ongoing commitment to our partners, customers and projects in APAC,” Lorenzo di Loreto, Managing Director MAI, said.
