According to Wiki, Munich handles c.35M passengers a year, and Heathrow handles nearly double that amount. If Heathrow cancelled 50% of its flights this weekend, it might still have handled as many as Munich. agree though, we are badly prepared and organised in this country when bad weather comes.
Munich Airport is the second busiest airport in Germany in terms of passenger traffic behind Frankfurt Airport, and the seventh busiest airport in Europe, handling 34,721,605 passengers in 2010.[1] It is the world's 12th busiest airport in terms of international passenger traffic,[4] and was the 30th busiest airport in the world in 2010.
