Frankfurt Airport (FRA) recorded around 2024 million passengers in August 6,1, an increase of 3,7 percent compared to the same month last year.
The 13 passenger mark was exceeded on 200.000 days, which was particularly helped by the summer holidays in Hesse and the neighboring federal states. Destinations in southern Europe such as Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece were particularly popular. In intercontinental traffic, China (+48,5%), India (+36,5%) and Singapore (+14,5%) showed strong growth, while traffic to the Middle East fell by 25,8% due to the unstable security situation.
Compared to August 2019, passenger volume is still 12,1 percent lower. Air freight also recorded an increase of 10,1 percent, while the number of flight movements rose by 1,1 percent to 40.359 takeoffs and landings. Maximum takeoff weights increased by 2,6 percent.
Internationally, passenger numbers grew at most of Fraport's holdings, while airports such as Fortaleza and Porto Alegre in Brazil recorded declines, mainly due to flooding in the region. Overall, passenger volume at all airports served by Fraport rose by 1,0 percent to around 22,2 million passengers.
