Which terminal do Lufthansa use at Munich airport?

Terminal 2 It is used by Lufthansa, the Star Alliance and other Lufthansa partners. Gates K and L in the T2 satellite building can be re- ached using an underground passenger transport system.



Lufthansa and nearly all of its Star Alliance partners (including United, Swiss, and Austrian) operate exclusively out of Terminal 2 at Munich Airport (MUC). Terminal 2 is unique because it was actually co-developed and is co-operated by Lufthansa and the airport authority, making it a "hub within a hub" designed specifically for the airline's needs. As of 2026, the terminal is even more consolidated, with Eurowings having moved all its operations to Terminal 2 to facilitate easier transfers for Lufthansa Group passengers. One of the terminal's standout features is its Satellite Building, which is connected to the main T2 building via an automated underground people mover that takes less than a minute. This setup allows for extremely short minimum connection times, often as low as 40 minutes, which is a major reason why Munich is frequently voted one of the best transfer airports in the world.
