FRANKFURT, August 11, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --
- FRA's Busiest July Ever
Fraport AG's Frankfurt Airport home base welcomed 5,281,632
passengers in July 2010 - exceeding the 5.2 million passenger mark for the
first time in a single month. This topped the previous record of July 2007 by
nearly 90,000 passengers. Compared to last year, 7.7 percent more passengers
used the FRA international air transportation hub.
"Our latest passenger figures impressively show that we are
not only performing well compared to the 2009 crisis year but that traffic
demand at Frankfurt Airport is stronger than ever," explained Fraport
executive board chairman Dr. Stefan Schulte. A new historical daily record
was reached in the reporting month when FRA served 183,663 passengers on July
31, 2010. Thus, the previous daily record of 182,259 passengers on September
29, 2000, was finally broken after nine years and ten months.
Handling 188,244 metric tons of airfreight in July 2010, FRA
registered a new monthly record and a 20.4 percent year-on-year increase.
Aircraft movements also climbed by 3.9 percent over July 2009 to 42,028
takeoffs and landings. Passenger and airfreight figures also had an impact
on accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs), which rose by about 16,000
metric tons over the previous record month of August 2005 to more than 2.52
million metric tons. MTOWs in July 2010 grew by 5.3 percent year-on-year.
The positive traffic trend was also stabilizing at Fraport's
five majority-owned airports in July 2010. Combined, these airports accounted
for approximately 10.5 million passengers handled by the Fraport Group - an
increase of 11.7 percent compared to the same month last year.
Looking at the specific airports, Antalya (AYT) in Turkey
achieved a 16.2 percent increase to 3.4 million passengers. Lima (LIM) in
Peru saw traffic surge by 19.4 percent year-on-year to 923,381 passengers.
Burgas (BOJ) and Varna (VAR) airports on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast were
used by 567,260 and 288,953 passengers respectively. This represented growth
in passenger traffic of 13.6 percent at BOJ and of 7.2 percent at VAR.
