In July 2014, the Fraport AG global airport company once again
registered passenger growth at its Frankfurt Airport (FRA) home base.
With almost 5.9 million passengers served in July 2014, Fraport
recorded the busiest passenger month in FRA's history. Despite
weather-related cancellations during the reporting month, passenger
traffic advanced by 2.3 percent compared to the same period last
year. This increase can be attributed to the summer school holidays
commencing in July in all of Germany's federal states.

FRA's cargo (airfreight and airmail) throughput grew modestly by
1.1 percent year-on-year to 181,459 metric tons. Aircraft movements
decreased by 1.0 percent to 42,841 takeoffs and landings, impacted by
the numerous weather-related flight cancellations.

Fraport AG's international portfolio also registered traffic gains
overall during July 2014. Peru's Lima Airport (LIM) welcomed 1.4
million passengers, a rise of 3.8 percent year-on-year. On the
Bulgarian Black Sea coast, Burgas (BOJ) and Varna (VAR) airports
together served well over one million passengers in July 2014, up 1.1
percent. More than 4.2 million passengers used Antalya Airport (AYT)
on the Turkish Riviera, representing a gain of 9.3 percent compared
to the same month in 2013. Achieving double-digit growth of 13.5
percent, Pulkovo Airport (LED) in St. Petersburg, Russia, received
about 1.8 million passengers in July 2014. Xi'an Airport (XIY) in
