What the private terminal is like at Munich
The General Aviation Terminal on the eastern side of the airport campus is home to private and business aviation, with handling services in the building and hangars next door. The airport says it handles aircraft over two tonnes not operating as scheduled or charter traffic, and that there is no obligation to handle passengers and aircraft at the GAT. A short-term parking zone is next to the terminal and the P35 car park serves longer stays; the GAT cannot be reached by public transport.

Customs at Munich, step by step
What happens on an international flight, in the order you meet it. We handle the paperwork with the operator.
- When you book, we ask for each passenger's passport details for the operator.
- Every flight needs an airport slot from the German airport coordinator. Signature and ExecuJet both arrange slots for the flights they handle.
- You use the General Aviation Terminal on the east side of the airport, not the main terminals. It has no public transport link, so arrange a car to meet you there.
- Signature lists customs and immigration on site at the terminal, and ExecuJet offers customs and immigration assistance there. Customs and immigration are listed as available 24 hours a day.
- The terminal is open 06:00–22:00. Outside those hours Signature and ExecuJet provide service on request, arranged in advance.
Which private jets can use Munich?
On runway length, every turboprop, very light jet, light jet, super light jet, midsize jet, super midsize, heavy jet, ultra long range and VIP airliner type is within it. The check below uses each type's published take-off distance at maximum weight, at sea level on a 15°C day. Heat, altitude, a wet runway and the operator's own rules can need more, so we confirm it for your aircraft and date.
Between 22:00 and 06:00 only aircraft within ICAO Chapter 3 noise limits may fly, in set categories, and apart from delayed flights and the quietest aircraft the type must be on the German transport ministry's bonus list. Munich may not be a planned alternate in those hours. Aircraft up to 2,000 kg and VFR flights need prior permission, and practice approaches are not allowed.

Worth knowing before you fly
- Munich is slot-coordinated, so every private flight needs an airport slot. Signature and ExecuJet both arrange slots, and late changes depend on availability.
- Night flying between 22:00 and 06:00 local is limited to set categories and, apart from delayed flights and the quietest aircraft, to types on the German transport ministry's bonus list. A late-running flight can sometimes still operate until midnight, but do not plan a schedule that depends on it.
- The General Aviation Terminal is open 06:00-22:00. Signature and ExecuJet offer service outside those hours on request, which needs arranging in advance.
- The GAT is on the east side of the airport and has no public transport link, so arrange a car to meet you. Hangar space cannot be reserved; it can only be requested on the day, at most three hours before landing.

Airport
| Opening hours | AIP Germany lists the aerodrome operator, customs and immigration, ATS, fuel, handling, security and de-icing as H24, but night flying restrictions apply (see noise). The General Aviation Terminal (GAT) is open 06:00-22:00, with office hours 05:30-22:00 (airport website). Signature lists 06:00-22:00 local with call-out on request, and ExecuJet 06:00-22:00 local with 24 hours on request. |
|---|---|
| Prior permission | Aircraft up to and including 2,000 kg maximum take-off mass and VFR flights may use the airport only with prior permission from Flughafen München GmbH (AIP). No PPR requirement is published for business jets flying IFR. Every flight needs an airport slot (see slots), and use of the aprons is always subject to prior permission from FMG apron control. |
| Customs and immigration | Customs and immigration are H24 (AIP Germany). Signature lists customs and immigration on site at its GAT facility; ExecuJet offers customs and immigration assistance at the GAT. |
| Slots | Munich is a coordinated (Level 3) airport under Fluko, the German airport coordinator, and Fluko lists it among the airports where general and business aviation must be coordinated (requests in GCR format; Fluko lists a 24-hour general aviation phone line). AIP Germany says the airport's departure sequencing (A-CDM) process cannot start without a valid ATC flight plan and an airport slot; for general aviation flights without a handling agent, A-CDM messages go to the GAT operator. Signature and ExecuJet both list slot coordination. |
| Noise and night restrictions | Between 22:00 and 06:00 local (AIP 2100-0500 UTC winter, 2000-0400 UTC summer) night flights are allowed only with aircraft within ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3 limits and only in set categories. For commercial scheduled and charter services: up to 28 scheduled movements 22:00-23:30 local (take-offs and landings) and 05:00-06:00 local (landings only); delayed flights originally planned before 22:00 may operate until 00:00 local; early landings 05:00-06:00 local if planned after 06:00. Aircraft averaging no more than 75 dB(A) at every noise measuring point may operate scheduled movements 22:00-23:30 and 05:00-06:00 local. Apart from delayed flights and those quiet aircraft, all night movements need an aircraft type on the German transport ministry's bonus list. Munich may not be filed as a planned alternate 22:00-06:00 local. Reverse thrust on landing only as far as needed for safety (idle reverse excepted). |
| Aircraft parking | Hangar space for visiting aircraft is on request; Hangar 10 (General Aviation) is heated with a door height of 8.6 m (AIP). Visiting aircraft are only hangared when space is free: requests go to General Aviation Operations on the day of the flight, at most three hours before landing, and reservations are not possible. General aviation aircraft parked for long periods must be ready for towing within one hour, and towing and hangaring of general aviation aircraft can generally be guaranteed only 0500-2100 (AIP). No business-jet parking time limits are published. |
| De-icing | Available H24 (AIP). De-icing is done remotely on dedicated de-icing areas. Crews must notify the de-icing coordinator at least 20 minutes before off-block, and DFS aerodrome control sets the sequence and assigns the area. Signature lists de-icing among its services. |
| Other restrictions | Aircraft up to 2,000 kg and VFR flights need prior permission. Practice approaches are not permitted. Munich may not be a planned alternate 22:00-06:00 local. AVGAS 100LL is not available (airport website). Night operations are limited by category, noise level and the bonus list (see noise). |
