MFAG appoints Karsten Mühlenfeld as supervisory board chairman

Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG has reshaped its supervisory board and will install Karsten Mühlenfeld as chairman, replacing Hiltrud Werner after five years in office. Regina Kraushaar and Bettina Ganghofer join the board as the company exits the restructuring phase.

The move follows MFAG’s turnaround work at Leipzig/Halle and Dresden, where the group posted its first positive consolidated result in 2025, with revenue above €200 million and an operating improvement of about €21 million. Mühlenfeld brings experience from Bombardier, Rolls-Royce Deutschland, Ryanair and Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH.

The board change sets the governance frame for the next phase of the airports’ recovery.
