Source: Munich Airport article: construction began 3 November 1980; opened overnight 16 to 17 May 1992 with two 4,000 m runways; Lufthansa second hub. The record says opensYear 1993 so that the airport stays shut until the event of 17 May 1992 opens it (the sim opens an airport by calendar year, and an event can open it earlier but not later): see docs/research/era5-sim-notes.md item 3.
