Uber has expanded its partnership with Munich Airport by introducing dedicated pickup hubs for passengers arriving at the German aviation hub, according to a senior company executive.
Christoph Weigler, General Manager for Uber in Germany and Austria, said in a LinkedIn post that travellers landing at Munich Airport can now access clearly marked pickup areas for Uber rides within around five minutes of leaving the arrivals hall. The initiative applies to passengers arriving at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
The pickup hubs are designed to simplify the meeting point between drivers and passengers. Weigler said the system uses clear ground signage combined with step-by-step navigation guidance within the Uber app to help riders locate their vehicle without searching through airport forecourts.
Munich Airport handled more than 43 million passengers in 2025, making it Germany’s second largest aviation hub and a major gateway for international business and leisure travellers. Improving onward ground transport connections from the airport has become a growing focus for mobility providers seeking to streamline the final stage of journeys.
Ride-hailing firm deepens airport integration in Germany with new designated pickup areas at Munich Airport terminals
According to Weigler, the Munich rollout represents the fourth airport in Uber’s expanding German airport network. Similar pickup hub partnerships are already in place at Berlin Brandenburg Airport, Düsseldorf Airport and Frankfurt Airport.
Uber said data gathered from those locations indicates that dedicated pickup zones improve passenger experience while also helping manage vehicle movement across airport road networks. By concentrating ride-hailing activity in specific areas, the company claims traffic flow on airport grounds can be improved.
The development reflects a wider trend among airports across Europe to work directly with ride-hailing platforms and mobility providers to organise kerbside operations and reduce congestion around terminal buildings.
Weigler described the Munich project as part of an ongoing collaboration between Uber, Munich Airport and the City of Munich, aimed at improving mobility connections between air travel and urban transport networks.
