Munich Airport wants to build terminal for deportations
A planned project at Munich Airport should make deportations more efficient. While the mayor finds the project sensible, one party is against it.
Germany plans a special deportation terminal for migrants who are subject to departure at its second largest airport. Munich Airport wants to build a corresponding building for the federal police, said a company spokesman on Wednesday.
Majority owner of the airport is the Free State of Bavaria, the federal government and the city of Munich hold minority shares. Bavaria’s Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann and Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt (both CSU) are regularly campaigning for strict deportations of rejected asylum seekers and foreign criminals.
New terminal at Munich Airport creates discussions
According to a tender document of the airport, the so -called “return terminal” with two floors on an area of 66 by 60 meters until the end of 2028 is to be completed. It is interpreted for “around 100 vehicles on and down every day for up to 50 individual measures and collective chart measures”.
“A central check-in is set up in the building to efficiently coordinate the returns,” the document continues. No statement was obtained from the federal police on Wednesday.
The project is politically controversial. “We see our own terminal for deportations more than critically,” said the Greens state politician Gülseren Demirel of the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”. Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD), on the other hand, described it as sensible that criminals in particular were returned to their home countries. “That’s why I don’t think it is wrong to keep such a terminal.”

The city of Freising, which is located north of Munich, in the area of which are parts of the airport, dealt with the project on Wednesday. According to the city administration, the construction committee rejected the location chosen by the airport for planning law under several options. The city will send a corresponding statement to the responsible state authority.
