In February 2014, the positive growth trend for passenger and
cargo traffic continued to advance at Fraport AG's Frankfurt Airport
(FRA) home base. Fraport welcomed about 3.7 million passengers in
the reporting month - a 1.8 percent increase year-on-year. Cargo
throughput (airfreight and airmail) grew by 1.9 percent to 159,249
metric tons. Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) climbed by
0.9 percent to more than 2 million metric tons. Aircraft movements
declined slightly by 0.6 percent to 33,467 takeoffs and landings.
Traffic development in February 2014 was influenced partly by
opposing special and low-base effects. During the same month in 2013,
FRA experienced many weather-related flight cancellations, while this
year a strike by security personnel on February 21 led to extensive
disruptions in passenger handling procedures.

Cumulative passenger figures at FRA for the January-to-February
2014 period rose by 2.7 percent year-on-year. During the first two
months of 2014, Frankfurt Airport's cargo tonnage grew by 4.5
percent, takeoffs and landings climbed by 0.3 percent, and MTOWs
increased by 1.8 percent.

Fraport's majority-owned Group airports continued their growth
path in February 2014. Serving nearly 1.2 million passengers, Peru's
Lima Airport (LIM) registered a 3.7 percent rise in traffic compared
to the same month last year. Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ) airports on
the Bulgarian Black Sea coast together received 27,852 passengers - a
gain of 7.2 percent.

In February 2014, more than 2.1 million passengers used Xi'an
Airport (XIY) in northwestern China, an increase of 7.4 percent
year-on-year. With 752,701 passengers, Pulkovo Airport (LED) in St.
Petersburg, Russia, recorded double-digit growth of 17.3 percent.
Welcoming 646,947 passengers, Antalya Airport (AYT) on the Turkish
Riviera grew by 3.1 percent year-on-year. Hanover Airport (HAJ) in
the German federal state of Lower Saxony received 274,956 passengers,
a dip of 1.7 percent.
