One of the easiest ways to get to the student town of Augsburg in the south-west of Bavaria in Germany is by taking a flight to it. Augsburg Muehlhausen Airport is the international airport in this city situated at a short driving distance of 15 minutes from the city center. In fact, the strategic location of Augsburg Muehlhausen Airport also enables passengers to reach the center of Munich in less than 50 minutes by a car. It comes as a surprise to many to know that Augsburg Airport is the only completely bi-national airport in the world that occupies French territory and has a Swiss customs sector.
Augsburg Downtown area is located at a distance of 7 km from Augsburg Muehlhausen Airport that served nearly 48,000 passengers in the year 2005. However, following that year, all passenger traffic was relocated to Munich Airport. Since this created a major problem for passengers looking for air connectivity in the Augsburg region of Bavaria this airport was restarted and used for general aviation and business airplanes.
The passenger facilities available at Augsburg Muehlhausen Airport include a state of the art parking facility for 700 cars, restrooms, lost and found counter, five check-in desks and car rental services. Given the arm’s length distance of the airport from the town of Augsburg, this airport serves as an ideal starting point for exploring various sights and sounds of this quaint town.
