Passenger traffic rises at FRA and Group airports worldwide

FRANKFURT, Germany, March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- FRA/gk-rap – In February 2019, Frankfurt Airport (FRA) welcomed more than 4.5 million passengers – an increase of 4.3 percent year-on-year.  During the first two months of the year, FRA achieved passenger growth of 3.3 percent.

Aircraft movements climbed by 4.7 percent to 36,849 takeoffs and landings in in the reporting month.  Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) rose by 4.6 percent to almost 2.3 million metric tons.  Reflecting the ongoing slowdown in global trade, cargo throughput (airfreight + airmail) contracted by 3.4 percent to 161,366 metric tons.

Group airports in Fraport's international portfolio continued their positive performance in February 2019.  Ljubljana Airport (LJU) in Slovenia served 105,470 passengers, a gain of 6.3 percent.  In Brazil, combined traffic at Fortaleza (FOR) and Porto Alegre (POA) airports increased by 15.8 percent to 1.2 million passengers.

Fraport's Greek regional airports recorded overall growth of 13.6 percent to 588,433 passengers. The busiest airports included Thessaloniki (SKG) with 368,119 passengers (up 24.2 percent), Chania (CHQ) on the island of Crete with 47,661 passengers (up 19.6 percent), and Rhodes (RHO) with 46,331 passengers (down 13.0 percent).

In Peru, Lima Airport (LIM) saw traffic grow by 4.6 percent to some 1.8 million passengers.  The two Bulgarian airports of Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ), combined, recorded a slight gain of 0.9 percent to 61,580 passengers.  Antalya Airport (AYT) in Turkey served 766,068 passengers, up 10.4 percent.  Pulkovo Airport (LED) in St. Petersburg, Russia, grew by 13.5 percent to about 1.1 million passengers.  Traffic at Xi'an Airport (XIY) in China advanced by 6.8 percent to 3.7 million passengers.
