Fraport Traffic Figures - September and Nine Months 2013: FRA Achieves New Historic Record for September Passenger Traffic - Growth Trend Continues for the Group Airports

Frankfurt (ots) - Frankfurt Airport (FRA) welcomed some 5.5
million passengers in September 2013: a new historic September record
at Germany's largest aviation gateway. Thus, the number of passengers
using FRA in September 2013 jumped by 191,000 or 3.6 percent compared
to the same month last year - the previous record September, despite
the impact of strike activity then. Aircraft movements rose during
the reporting month by 0.7 percent to 42,525 takeoffs and landings.
Cargo tonnage remained stable at 178,682 metric tons, down by 0.1
percent. Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) increased by 1.1
percent to about 2.6 million metric tons - also a new historic
September figure.

In the first nine months of 2013, FRA served a total of 44.2
million passengers, a rise of 0.2 percent year-on-year. Aircraft
movements declined by 2.5 percent to 357,538 takeoffs and landings.
FRA's cargo volume grew in the January-to-September 2013 period by
0.7 percent to about 1.6 million metric tons. Accumulated MTOWs
dropped by 2.4 percent to about 21.4 million metric tons.

Fraport's majority-owned airports registered strong growth in
September 2013 as well as significant increases during the first nine
months of the year. Lima Airport (LIM) in Peru received more than 11
million passengers compared to the same period last year, a gain of
12.2 percent year-on-year. Antalya Airport (AYT) on the Turkish
Riviera welcomed a total of 22.1 million passengers from January to
September 2013, up 6.6 percent. On the Bulgarian Black Sea coast,
Burgas Airport (BOJ) had about more than 2.4 million passengers (up
4.6 percent), while Varna Airport (VAR) registered about 1.2 million
passengers (up 7.3 percent). For the January-to-September 2013
period, the five majority-owned Group airports served a total of
about 81 million passengers - a rise of 3.6 percent year-on-year.

Fraport AG's executive board chairman Dr. Stefan Schulte expressed
satisfaction with the nine-month traffic results: "After a slow start
in early 2013, Frankfurt Airport's cumulative traffic figures have
reached the 2012 level. And one should also not forget that in 2012
we posted a new record year with more passengers than any other year
in the history of FRA. Once again, Fraport's overseas airports
continue to achieve strong passenger volumes and are developing very
positively. This is contributing noticeably to growth in the Group's
results."
