Frankfurt Airport achieves passenger growth despite pilot strike -
Group Airports in Fraport's international portfolio report mixed
results

With some 4.1 million passengers served in November 2016,
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) saw passenger traffic increase by 4.9 percent
compared to the previous year, despite the Lufthansa pilot strike
affecting some 345,000 passengers and almost 2,600 aircraft
movements. This increase, however, was largely attributable to a base
effect resulting from the cabin crew strikes in November last year.
Without the two special effects, Frankfurt Airport would have
achieved passenger growth of around 2 percent.

Impacted by the strike and an unfavorable timing of weekends and
weekdays in November 2016, cargo throughput (airfreight + airmail)
contracted by 2.1 percent year-on-year to 191,461 metric tons.
Aircraft movements increased slightly by 0.7 percent to a total of
33,556 takeoffs and landings. Accumulated maximum takeoff weights
(MTOWs) reached approximately 2.18 million metric tons, thus
remaining almost unchanged from the previous year (up 0.2 percent).

Airports in Fraport AG's international portfolio reported mixed
results in November 2016. A total of 99,082 passengers used
Ljubljana Airport (LJU) in Slovenia's capital city - an increase of
5.5 percent year-on-year. Lima Airport (LIM) in Peru continued to
report growth of 7.6 percent to some 1.5 million passengers.
Combined, the two Twin Star airports of Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ)
on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast welcomed 33,280 passengers in the
reporting month. While this represents a decline of 18.2 percent, it
must be taken into account that BOJ is closed during November and
December 2016 due to renovation works on the runway system. A total
of 871,390 passengers used Antalya Airport (AYT) in Turkey, down 17.5
percent. Traffic at Pulkovo Airport (LED) in St. Petersburg, Russia,
markedly increased by 19.5 percent to 952,235 passengers. In
northern Germany, Hanover Airport (HAJ) saw passenger numbers
decrease by 8.1 percent to 350,954 passengers in the reporting month.
Xi'an Airport (XIY) in China, by contrast, reported an increase in
passenger traffic of 14.2 percent to just under 3.0 million
passengers.
