Airports create many benefits for their regions, but they also put a great burden on residents and communities in the near vicinity. The environmental impact is considerable. Naturally, growth and expansion plans for airports quickly generate controversy and resistance. Munich Airport (MUC), Germany’s second-largest airport after Frankfurt, has long planned to construct a third 4 km runway to increase capacity and ensure MUC’s position in a fiercely competitive aviation market. A 2012 citizen referendum has stopped these plans. This article examines the needs, instruments, limits and poten-tials of airport communications with its key stakeholders, us-ing the example of MUC, in the context of the runway project. It finds that innovative means opened up important channels for communication and citizen participation, but partly failed because of the inherent political conflicts between the airport and neighboring communities which prevented consensus. Ef-forts of information and dialog are not sufficient to win public support. More active mobilization of citizen, business and me-dia support is necessary to put voiceful opposition at bay.
