Ticketless entry with online booking, a guaranteed space and short walking distances: with its new multi-storey car park P8, which opened on 1 September 2026, Munich Airport has added around 3,700 parking spaces on eight levels in a central location, just a few minutes‘ walk from Terminals 1 and 2.
As a car park of the latest generation, P8 offers digital services designed to make the start of a journey more relaxed and easier to plan. It starts with the booking: travellers who reserve their space online in advance can rely on a free space and benefit from reduced prices. Bookings can be cancelled at any time before the booked entry time, so passengers can react flexibly to changes in their travel plans.
Arrival is just as simple: if a licence plate is stored with the booking, the barrier opens automatically thanks to licence plate recognition.
EV charging and photovoltaics
Munich Airport is also expanding its offer for travellers with electric vehicles. Around 50 charging points are planned in P8 as a first step, with more to follow. Part of the electricity comes from a photovoltaic system on the roof of the car park with a peak output of 1.378 megawatts. Depending on sunshine and occupancy, electric vehicles can at times charge with solar power generated directly on the building.
“What matters most to our passengers is that everything runs smoothly on the day they travel – and that is exactly what P8 is made for: book your space online in advance, drive in without a ticket thanks to modern licence plate recognition and be in the terminal within minutes,” says Florian Mayr-Léonard, Head of Services & Parking at Flughafen München GmbH. “We combine the latest technology, from digital booking to sustainable energy supply, with real convenience and an infrastructure that meets the demands of modern mobility.”
Circular construction
Munich Airport relied on the circular economy during construction: the concrete from the previous car park was processed on site and reused as recycled material in the new building.
