Fraport Traffic Figures - November 2017: Positive Trend Continues

Frankfurt (ots) -

Fraport's FRA home-base and Group airports report traffic growth

In November 2017, Frankfurt Airport (FRA) served more than five
million passengers, achieving an increase of 21.1 percent
year-on-year. However, November 2016 was characterized by a large
number of strike-related flight cancellations. Adjusting for this
effect, FRA still recorded noticeable passenger growth of 11.8
percent, attributable to the significant expansion of airline flight
offerings for the winter schedule 2017/18.

FRA's cargo throughput (airfreight + airmail) increased by 4.9
percent year-on-year to 200,827 metric tons. Accumulated maximum
takeoff weights (MTOWs) also climbed by 12.7 percent to about 2.5
million metric tons. Aircraft movements rose by 16.6 percent to
39,124 takeoffs and landings. Taking into account the number of
strike-related flight cancellations in November 2016, aicraft
movements in the reporting month saw an underlying increase of 8.2
percent.

Across the Group, Fraport's international portfolio of airports
also performed well. Slovenia's Ljubljana Airport (LJU) welcomed
121,520 passengers, a 22.6 percent jump year-on-year. Peru's Lima
Airport (LIM) posted a 9.5 percent traffic increase to about 1.7
million passengers. The Fraport Twin Star airports of Varna (VAR) and
Burgas (BOJ) on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast served a total of
73,220 passengers in November 2017. Due to BOJ's closure for runway
renovations in November and December 2016, a year-on-year comparison
for Twin Star can not be provided.

The 14 Greek regional airports overall grew slightly by 1.2
percent to 653,391 passengers in November 2017. Antalya Airport
(AYT) in Turkey served 959,182 passengers, advancing by 10.1 percent
year-on-year. Germany's Hanover Airport (HAJ) closed the reporting
month with a gain of 13.6 percent to 398,850 passengers. Pulkovo
Airport (LED) in St. Petersburg, Russia, reported a rise of 14.4
percent to about 1.1 million passengers. China's Xi'an Airport (XIY)
saw traffic increase by 14.2 percent to 3.4 million passengers.
