Munich Airport, now Germany's number-two commercial airport as a result of the dynamic growth it has achieved, is being used increasingly by airlines as a hub-a pattern reflected in part by a considerable increase in the volume of transit passengers, who now number one in five in Munich. Munich also set a new record for take-offs and landings in 2004. The 370,000 commercial aircraft movements marked an 8 percent increase as compared with the previous year. Also benefiting from the massive growth in traffic was the airfreight segment, which also reached a new record level with a 26 percent increase. For the first time, the airfreight handled at Munich Airport, including trucked freight, exceeded 300,000 metric tonnes. The key growth driver in the past year was the continued expansion of hub traffic at Munich Airport. The percentage of connecting passengers has now increased from 31 to 33 percent. This rise is mainly due to the massive expansion of intercontinental traffic. The number of long-haul flights in Munich increased nearly 30 percent in 2004, and the passenger total on these routes actually jumped by more than 40 percent. The Munich Airport Group (FMG) has started off the year 2005 with a new organizational structure.
