From FMM airport in Memmingen to city center

FMM Airport overview

Memmingen Airport (IATA: FMM, ICAO: EDJA), also known as Allgäu Airport Memmingen, is an international airport in the town of Memmingerberg near Memmingen, in Bavaria, Germany. It is the smallest of the three commercial airports in the state after Munich Airport and Nuremberg Airport. It was built in 1935 and housed the third group of Kampfgeschwader 255 until the airport was destroyed in 1944. From 1959 to 2003, it was the home base of German Air Force Jagdbombergeschwader 34 ("Allgäu"), which flew the F-84F Thunderstreak, from 1964 onward the F-104 Starfighter and from 1987 the Tornado IDS. Besides its conventional mission the squadron also had a nuclear mission, as part of NATOs nuclear deterrence until nuclear weapons were moved to other locations in Germany in 1996 and the airport was closed in 2003. Since 2004, it has been serving Memmingen and the Allgäu as a civilian airport, though its catchment area covers a much wider range of places such as Augsburg, Lake Constance, and western Austria. It provides a low-cost alternative to Munich Airport. It serves as a base for Ryanair and features flights to European leisure and some metropolitan destinations and handled 3.2 million passengers in 2024.
