One of Germany's biggest airports is planning on building a 'deportation terminal' that will be used to send up to 100 migrants back to their home countries per day.
Munich International Airport is set to build a two-storey terminal on a five-acre parcel of land by the end of 2027 that will be used to clear a backlog of 24,000 people who have been ordered to leave the Bavaria region.
The new facility, according to the Times, will be overseen by Germany's federal police. It will be staffed by up to 300 officers from Bavaria's state police, 145 security guards and 90 officials from other public bodies.
On top of being a deportation centre, the new facility will also act as a place for asylum applications to be processed for those who arrive in Germany by plane.
Joachim Herrmann, Bavaria's interior minister, told German newspaper Bild: '[The proposed facility] is organisationally necessary so that we can make deportations quicker and more efficient.'
