Frankfurt Airport posts new daily passenger record - Fraport's Group airports perform strongly
FRA/gk-rap - In September 2017, some 6.2 million passengers traveled through Frankfurt Airport (FRA) - an increase of 5.4 percent on the previous year. This was the first time that FRA exceeded the six-million-passenger mark in a September month.
