There is a key emphasis on higher education in Bavaria.

Bavarian airports provide a superb infrastructure for the globally networked aerospace industry. With the new addition of Terminal 2 at Munich Airport, the Nuremberg Airport as well as a number of regional airports, Bavaria provides optimum conditions for a fast and efficient transfer of goods and convenient travel.
