Memmingen Airport (FMM), often marketed as Allgäu Airport Memmingen, is a small international airport in the State of Bavaria, Germany.
The airport is located 4 km east of Memmingen town and roughly 110 km west of Munich. It primarily serves the Allgäu region and parts of western Bavaria, but many travelers fly into it to reach Munich, because there are often cheaper flights owing to low-cost carriers.
Memmingen Airport surpassed its target of handling over 3.5 million passengers in 2025. It is the least busy of the three Bavarian Airports, after Munich Airport (MUC) and Nuremberg Airport (NUE).
Major Airlines - Ryanair, Wizz Air
Memmingen is dominated by two low-cost carriers, which fly on predominantly European routes:
Ryanair is the largest airline at FMM, with over 35 routes, of which more than 20 are offered year-round and the rest only seasonally.
Wizz Air, together with its subsidiary Wizz Air Malta, offers more than 25 routes, mostly to destinations in Central and Eastern Europe.
Other airlines, such as SunExpress, have only a handful of flights per month.
Memmingen sees a drastic increase in flights during the summer, when leisure demand picks up. Airlines such as TUI fly Deutschland, Eurowings, and Aegean Airlines offer seasonal services mainly to Mediterranean holiday destinations.

Terminal Layout and Gates
Memmingen Airport has just one terminal.
There are in total 7 manned check-in counters, 4 self-bag-drop counters for passengers of low-cost carriers, and 12 gates:
Gates 1-7 (Zone A) are for Schengen flights. They are on the ground floor
Gates 23-25, plus Gate 8/26 (Zone B), are for non-Schengen flights. They are on the upper floor.
