The decision by the airline to expand its services in Munich underscores the important role played by Munich Airport for US routes. In 2018, 1.8 million people departed from Munich for destinations in the USA, making it not only the number one destination country in the intercontinental segment, but also placing it in the top three among all countries served from Munich.
Among US destinations served from Munich, Charlotte ranks eighth in total passengers.
