Munich Airport International (MAI) has opened a regional office in Singapore as a part of its expansion plan in the Asian Aviation market.
Simon Lotter will head the Singapore office, having spent several years working in Hong Kong and Singapore prior to joining MAI. Simon joined Munich Airport as a consultant in 2011 as part of the ORAT project at Hamad International Airport in Doha. From 2014, Lotter was responsible for the Asia-Pacific market as Regional Sales Director based at the company's headquarters in Munich.
Lorenzo di Loreto, Managing Director MAI: "Our Singapore office is the next milestone in MAI's strategic growth in the region and is clear proof of our strong and ongoing commitment to our partners, customers, and projects in APAC. This office will receive full support from the MAI headquarters and will embody our strengths and 5-star airport operations expertise at its best."
Simon Lotter added: “I am looking forward to being closer to my customers and projects. 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 utilization, and passenger experience.”
The Asia-Pacific region continues to be a key market for MAI with the first international project managed at Kuala Lumpur's brand-new capital airport. According to MIA, the office holds strategic importance as even though, the Asia-Pacific was the last region to lift COVID restrictions, it will remain the fastest-developing region in the future in terms of passenger growth and new airport developments.
