Compared to pre-pandemic levels, passenger numbers are still 9.4% lower, but Frankfurt Airport is moving in the right direction.
As a summary, Fraport, the operator said the following on the airport’s performance:
“Cargo traffic in Frankfurt (comprising airfreight and airmail) rebounded in November 2023, growing by 6.0 percent year-on-year to 174,258 metric tons.”
“At the same time, FRA’s flight volume also continued to increase, with aircraft movements up 8.5 percent year-on-year to 35,310 takeoffs and landings.”
“Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (or MTOWs) surged by 10.7 percent year-on-year to about 2.2 million metric tons.”
Across the operator itself, Fraport handled 9.9m passengers in November 2023, with this broken down into the following:
“At Slovenia’s Ljubljana Airport (LJU), traffic improved significantly in November 2023, rising by 37.3 percent year-on-year to 91,786 passengers.”
“In contrast, the two Brazilian airports of Fortaleza (FOR) and Porto Alegre (POA) registered a 12.5 percent overall decline year-on-year to around 1.0 million passengers.”
“Meanwhile, Lima Airport (LIM) in Peru saw passenger numbers climb by 9.9 percent year-on-year to around 1.9 million travelers.”
