📋 Tender Overview
Scope The planning approval decision for the construction of a third runway was issued by the General Administration of the Free State of Bavaria on July 5 2011. With this decision the approval authority confirmed the planning application for the third runway including the sub-projects after intensive examination and consideration of all aspects of the expansion project.In July 2015 the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig dismissed the last appeals against the project and finally ruled that Munich Airports plans fulfill all technical and legal requirements. The building permit is thus legally binding and valid.In its coalition agreement of November 2018 the governing coalition of CSU and FREIE WHLER in Bavaria agreed to a moratorium on the construction of the third runway until the end of the current legislative period. Against the background of the Covid 19 crisis and the resulting decline in traffic.The third runway there which had been delayed until 2023 at the earliest and has been the subject of a decade-long battle has now been further put off until 2028 vaguely on the grounds of the implications of the pandemic. If the pandemic is going to last that long then the operators of airports around the world might as well hand back the keys to the landowners.
