World's only brewery inside an airport has £2 beers and excellent reviews
Munich Airport is home to Airbräu - a vast brewery where the fresh beer flows freely and punters can keep necking litres up until the very last minute of their holiday The holiday stein clinking and foam slurping never has to stop at Airbräu, the world's only brewery inside an airport. Each year Oktoberfest draws lederhosen enthusiasts from across the world to Munich in Bavaria, where they spend the final days of September and first week of October crowding into beer halls and getting rowdy. Once the last of the leather shorts have been wiped dry and the wooden tables packed away for the year, the fun doesn't necessarily have to stop. That's because Munich Airport is home to Airbräu - a vast brewery where the fresh beer flows freely and punters can keep necking litres up until the very last minute of their holiday. "We welcome you to the first airport brewery in the world. We have been brewing our unique beers strictly according to the purity law and directly at Munich Airport since 1999," Airbräu's website cordially invites. "We serve our home-brewed beers on site in our Airbräu restaurant. You can also get the incomparable taste at home with our handy Aircraft six-packs or the party barrels. Our Airbräu connects tradition with international flair and conveys Bavarian hospitality as well as a sense of homecoming. The dishes are freshly prepared and the ingredients are sourced locally." Airbräu does not take advantage of its location inside the slightly no-man's land of the airport terminal to cut corners, instead producing its beer in accordance with German brewing laws. That means only barley, malt, hops, water and yeast. Brewmaster René Jacobsen will be on hand to explain the individual steps during a guided tour through the brewery - followed by a free tasting. Punters can either sit inside next to the brewing kettles or relax in the beer garden, where long covered tables encourage a lively atmosphere and shelter from the rain. One of the biggest selling points of the brewery is how cheap the beer is. Small, 200ml glasses of beer cost just €2.5 (£2.10), while a litre glass is €7.4 (£6.25). Judiciousness is advised, however, as the beers are between 4.5% and 5.9% ABV. Airbräu is so popular that many passengers say they look forward to visiting it more than actually going on holiday. "When we fly back, we are already looking forward to the Bavarian cuisine and the good beer again at the Airbräu," one happy customer wrote on Tripadvisor. Another added: "It's really surprising how they manage to create some kind of atmosphere in such a fast-paced and hectic atmosphere. The food, beer and prices are all OK. A very good way to make the waiting time bearable in a relaxed Bavarian way." A third wrote: "I hate to admit it, but this maybe some of the best Bavarian food I I had in Germany. The pork Roast was fantastic. A good crispy crust on the skin. Salads and dumpling's were also very traditional. Great food for an airport."

GMR Aero Academy Restarts ARFF Training from May 14 in Hyderabad
GMR Aero Academy will restart its Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) training program on April 21, at its Hyderabad campus, marking a strategic step to support growing demand for skilled aviation safety personnel. The ARFF initiative, aligned with global aviation safety standards, is resuming after a hiatus, with the upcoming ninth cohort commencing on May 14. Previously, over 350 professionals were trained under this program between 2013 and 2018 in Hyderabad. The training spans 24 weeks and integrates International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards with practical exposure to modern fire safety systems. It offers hands-on sessions involving real-time firefighting equipment and simulations. The faculty comprises industry professionals experienced in aviation emergency response. Participants completing the course gain access to job opportunities across GMR's aviation network, which includes over 15 airports across India. The academy also maintains recruitment partnerships with major Indian airlines such as IndiGo and Air India Express. This program relaunch coincides with a significant expansion in India's aviation infrastructure. As more airports come online, the need for certified fire and rescue staff has become critical, especially in Telangana and neighboring southern states. GMR Aero Academy President Ashok Gopinath stated that the role of airport firefighters is vital in ensuring safety in aviation operations. He highlighted that the training not only enhances technical capabilities but also instills operational readiness for emergency scenarios. With accreditations from ICAO, International Air Transport Association (IATA), and Airports Council International (ACI), the academy provides training modules that include hazardous material management, aircraft recovery techniques, and structural firefighting drills. The ARFF curriculum is designed to meet global safety and emergency standards. The academy reports a 90 per cent placement rate, having trained and placed nearly 1,000 professionals across airports in India. GMR Aero Academy continues to focus on producing mission-ready fire and rescue personnel to support India's rapidly growing aviation sector.
