Distance & flight time from FMM
Memmingen Allgau Airport
Memmingen Allgau Airport, known by the code FMM, developed from Fliegerhorst Memmingerberg, a military airfield used by German and later American forces during the Cold War before its conversion to civilian service in the mid-2000s. Ryanair established a substantial base there, marketing FMM as a budget-friendly alternative for reaching Munich, though the Bavarian capital actually lies well over an hour away by road or coach. The airport primarily serves the Allgau region, a landscape of rolling foothills bordering the Alps popular with hikers, cyclists, and winter sports enthusiasts. Low landing fees and efficient turnaround times have helped FMM attract a growing roster of European low-cost routes, particularly toward the Mediterranean and North Africa. The terminal remains modest in scale, reflecting the airport's identity as a no-frills regional facility rather than a major international hub.
