Munich Airport

When the baggage handling system in Terminal 2 reached its capacity limits in 2007, the search for space for an new facility failed. suisseplan suggested determining the feasibility of expanding the existing system, something previously considered to be inconceivable. Jens Quadt, at the time still with Crisplant, was primarily responsible for developing the solutions.

suisseplan insisted on fully planning the retrofitting measures, defining manageable sub projects, detailing the construction stages and actively involving all stakeholders. We are proud of the project's success.
