[change] History
Munich Airport was opened in 1992. Before that the airport was in Riem. Building was started in 1980.
Because Frankfurt am Main was used too much, Lufthansa shortly afterwards started to use international Routes from Munich. The Airport was named after Franz-Josef Strauss a politician who was very interested in aeroplanes. People in Munich usually just call it München Flughafen or just der Flughafen.
In 2003 the second terminal was opened, for Lufthansa and Star-Alliance only.
A third runway is planned, because there is much traffic on Munich Airport, but people who live near the airport don't want it.
