Underlining its commitment to the Asian aviation market, Munich Airport International (MAI), the international business subsidiary of Munich Airport, has opened a regional office in Singapore.
“Our Singapore office is the next milestone in MAI’s strategic growth in the region and a clear proof of our strong and ongoing commitment to our partners, customers and projects in the APAC. This office will receive full support from the MAI headquarters and will embody our strengths and five-star airport operations expertise at its best.”
A strategic move for MAI, the new base in Singapore will enable closer contact with customers, a greater understanding of regional requirements and a faster, more demand-driven response to market dynamics. The office will be headed up by Simon Lotter (pictured) who has been with Munich Airport as a consultant since 2011. He joined initially to work on the ORAT project at Hamad International Airport in Doha. Since 2014 he has been responsible for the Asia-Pacific market as Regional Sales Director based at the company’s headquarters in Munich.
Sharing his thoughts on new office, Lotter said: “With our new office in Singapore we are not only present, but also ready to build a platform on our combined international and regional experience for further growth in areas of management, consulting, training and equally relevant, innovation such as advanced air mobility, sustainability, capacity utilisation and passenger experience.”
The Asia-Pacific region has always been a key market for MAI. Initial engagements date back to the mid-1990s, when the first international project was managed at Kuala Lumpur’s capital airport. Various projects followed in India, Thailand, Singapore, Japan and Nepal.
