Among the provisions of the agreement is a management exchange program to allow managers of the airports to see the processes and structures of the partner airport for themselves. The two airport heads also agreed to meet at least once a year in the future to assess progress and coordinate further project stages.

Changi Airport was voted the world's best airport in a global passenger survey conducted by Skytrax, the renowned London-based aviation research institute. In the same survey Munich Airport yet again won the title of Europe's best airport.

This new partnership is particularly important in view of the above-average increases in traffic to and from Asian destinations: It presents Munich Airport's managers with an opportunity to gain more detailed insights into the Far East as a growth market.
