Jost Lammers will take over as president and CEO of Munich Airport, succeeding Dr Michael Kerkloh who is retiring on 31 December 2019.

Lammers, who is CEO of Budapest Airport will start his five-year term on 1 January 2020 and has had a long career in the aviation industry.

In addition, Lammers was elected president of Airports Council International Europe in June and is a member of the supervisory board of Hamburg Airport.
