Munich Airport - Midfield Terminal - Satellite
The envelope of the satellite terminal is thermally optimised utilising a double
skinned ‘climate’ façade that includes cold storage capability and advanced technology for air condition, in addition it functions as circulation space.

area for recreation and shopping, as well as for meet and greet.

Munich Airport - Midfield Terminal - Satellite
After Terminal 2 at Munich Airport exceeded its annual capacity limit of 25 million passengers annually (PAX) at the end
of 2011 the new satellite terminal with a handling capacity of 11 million passengers is urgently required. Koch+Partner
came out as the winner of the multistage international competition and were assigned with a contract as general planner for the planning stages 2 to 8, from preliminary design to project supervision.
The building shall be flexible in use and have the possibility of future expansion. In the first stage, the existing baggage
sorting hall on the eastern apron of the airfield will be expanded and increased. At a later stage, a second phase of
construction may be completed in the East. The construction works started in May 2012.
Although the satellite is not a new terminal in itself, it will be a functional and operational extension of Terminal 2 without its own landside connection. One of the highest design principles is the affiliation and recognition with
Terminal 2.
Although the Satellite is not a new terminal in itself, it will be a functional and operational extension of Terminal 2 without its own land-side connection and will enhance the function of Munich Airport as a hub considerably. The Satellite and Terminal 2 will be connected via a driverless underground passenger transport system (PTS) in less than one
minute. The building shell for the tunnels and the stations of the PTS were already built during the construction of Terminal 2.
One of the highest design principles is the affiliation and recognition with Terminal 2. Ample, open and comprehensible
structures which are flooded with light, as well as bright materials and colours will provide a good orientation in the satellite building. As in Terminal 2 a wide-ranging offer of shopping and dining options, besides five new lounges for Lufthansa, is available for the passenger in the satellite: The market place in the light-flooded central area around the tower
serves three levels, is spacious and offers the best panorama of the airfield.
The satellite facility will also set new standards in terms of sustainability and energy efficiency: The new buildings CO2
emissions will be around 40 per cent lower than those of the Terminals 1 and 2. This result will be achieved through:
The envelope of the satellite terminal is thermally optimised with a double skinned ‘climate’ façade. Because of maintaining the airport in operation during the whole construction period the construction logistics represent one of the major
challenges of the project.
