Bandara Munich, secara resmi bernama Bandara Franz Josef Strauss, adalah bandara tersibuk kedua di Jerman dan hub utama Eropa. Terletak 28 kilometer di timur laut Munich di kawasan Erdinger Moos, bandara ini dibuka pada 1992 sebagai pengganti bekas Bandara Munich-Riem. MUC menangani lebih dari 47 juta penumpang per tahun di dua terminal dan fasilitas satelit. Terminal 2, yang dioperasikan bersama oleh Lufthansa dan Bandara Munich, melayani Lufthansa dan mitra Star Alliance serta menampilkan Terminal Satelit yang dibuka pada 2016 untuk menambah kapasitas penerbangan Schengen dan non-Schengen. Terminal 1 menangani maskapai lainnya. Bandara Munich adalah hub utama Lufthansa, kedua setelah Frankfurt dalam jaringan maskapai tersebut, dan menawarkan layanan antarbenua yang luas. Jalur S-Bahn S1 dan S8 menghubungkan bandara ke Munich Hauptbahnhof dalam waktu sekitar 40 menit, dan jalur kereta ekspres telah direncanakan untuk mengurangi waktu tempuh. Bandara Munich telah berulang kali diakui sebagai salah satu bandara terbaik di Eropa oleh Skytrax, mendapatkan peringkat bintang lima. Bandara ini dikenal dengan sentuhan khas Bavaria, termasuk pabrik bir di lokasi dan biergarten tradisional di area pusat antara terminal. MUC mengoperasikan dua landasan pacu paralel dan rencana landasan pacu ketiga telah menjadi subjek perdebatan regional.
