metric tons of cargo (airfreight and airmail). For the current flight
timetable, FRA is served by 98 passenger airlines flying to some 250
destinations in 105 countries worldwide. More than half of FRA?s
destinations are intercontinental (beyond Europe) - underscoring
Frankfurt's role as a leading hub in the global air transportation
system. In Europe, Frankfurt Airport ranks first in terms of cargo
tonnage and is the third-busiest for passenger traffic. With about 55
percent of all passengers using Frankfurt as a connecting hub, FRA
also has the highest transfer rate among the major European hubs.

Frankfurt Airport City has become Germany's largest job complex at
a single location, employing more than 78,000 people at some 500
companies and organizations on site. Major new real estate
developments - such as The Squaire, the Gateway Gardens business
park, and the Mönchhof Logistics Park - are creating an exciting new
dimension and range of services at the evolving Frankfurt Airport
City of the 21st century.

Almost half of Germany's population lives within a 200-kilometer
radius of the FRA intermodal travel hub - the largest airport
catchment area in Europe. FRA Airport City also serves as a magnet
for other companies located throughout the economically vital
Frankfurt/Rhine-Main-Neckar region. Thanks to synergies associated
with the region's dynamic industries, networked expertise, and
outstanding intermodal transportation infrastructure, FRA's world
route network enables Hesse's and Germany's export-oriented
businesses to flourish in global growth markets.

Frankfurt Airport meets the increasing needs of the
export-oriented economies of the State of Hesse as well as Germany as
a whole, for optimal connections to growth markets around the globe.
Likewise, FRA is a strategic gateway for companies wanting to access
the huge European marketplace. Thus, Frankfurt Airport - which is
strategically located in the heart of Europe - is one of the most
important hubs in the global logistics chain.
