Fraport Traffic Figures - October 2014

Frankfurt (ots) - Frankfurt Airport and Fraport's International
Airport Portfolio Report Ongoing Traffic Growth - Newly Acquired
Ljubljana Airport Fully Consolidated for the First Time

FRA/gk-rap - In the reporting month of October 2014, Frankfurt
Airport (FRA) reported ongoing traffic growth. Despite some 1,100
strike-related flight cancellations which affected about 137,500
passengers, passenger numbers at FRA rose by 1.4 percent to 5.5
million. Without the strike by the pilots' union, Frankfurt Airport
would have seen underlying passenger growth of approximately four
percent in October 2014.

FRA's cargo throughput (airfreight + airmail) increased by 1.1
percent to 188,062 metric tons year-on-year. Accumulated MTOWs
(maximum takeoff weights) also rose, climbing by 1.6 percent to about
2.6 million metric tons. Aircraft movements declined by 1.5 percent
to 41,947 takeoffs and landings. Without the strike-related flight
cancellations, the number of aircraft movements at FRA would have
slightly exceeded the previous year's level.

Airports in the Fraport Group's international portfolio also
reported growth in October 2014. Fully consolidated for the first
time, newly acquired Ljubljana Airport (LJU) in the capital city of
Slovenia served 117,491 passengers and achieved growth of 6.7 percent
compared to the same month last year. In Peru, Lima Airport (LIM)
welcomed almost 1.4 million passengers, up 4.5 percent year-on- year.
Bulgaria's Twinstar airports of Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ) had a
combined total of 78,078 passengers - representing growth of 2.6
percent. Antalya Airport (AYT) on the Turkish Riviera experienced a
4.8 percent drop in traffic to about 2.8 million passengers. With
more than 1.1 million passengers, St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport
(LED) in Russia saw traffic rise by 5.6 percent year- on-year. In
Germany, Hanover Airport (HAJ) also grew by 5.6 percent to 571,082
passengers. Xi'an Airport (XIY) in China achieved double- digit
growth of 13.7 percent with some 2.7 million passengers.
