Fraport Traffic Figures - November 2015

Frankfurt (ots) - Lufthansa's Strike Strongly Impacts Traffic
Statistics at FRA - Group Airports Record Mixed Results

Frankfurt Airport's (FRA) traffic in November 2015 was impacted
strongly by Lufthansa's flight attendant strike. The week-long
walkout and its effects on the days following the strike resulted in
about half a million passengers being unable to start their journeys
at FRA - as well as the cancellation of 3,400 scheduled flights.
Thus, Frankfurt Airport's passenger volume decreased significantly in
the reporting month by 11.3 percent to 3.9 million compared to the
same month last year. The trend was also reflected in the 10.2
percent drop in aircraft movements to 33,337 takeoffs and landings.
The accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) fell by 7.8 percent
to some 2.2 million metric tons, while Frankfurt's cargo throughput
(airfreight and airmail) slipped by 3.6 percent to 195,505 metric
tons.

Overall, Fraport AG's international airport portfolio achieved
mixed results in November 2015. Slovenia's Ljubljana Airport (LJU)
welcomed 93,944 passengers, a noticable gain of 11.2 percent.
Serving 1.4 million passengers, Lima Airport (LIM) in the capital of
Peru recorded strong growth of 8.9 percent. The Bulgarian Black Sea
airports of Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ) rose slightly by 1.1 percent
to 40,668 passengers. Antalya Airport (AYT) in Turkey registered 1.1
million passengers, down 3.4 percent year-on-year. Influenced by the
weak local economy, St Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport (LED) in Russia
experienced a 14.6 percent drop to 797,257 passengers. At Hanover
Airport (HAJ) in northern Germany, traffic declined by 5 percent to
381,986 passengers. China's Xi'an Airport (XIY) greeted 2.6 million
passengers, representing a 9.5 percent traffic surge.

Fraport AG - which ranks among the world's leading companies in
the global airport business - offers a full range of integrated
airport management services and boasts subsidiaries and investments
on four continents. In 2014, the Fraport Group generated sales of
EUR2.4 billion and profit of about EUR252 million. Last year more
than 108.5 million passengers used airports around the world in which
Fraport has more than a 50 percent stake.

At its Frankfurt Airport (FRA) home base, Fraport welcomed about
60 million passengers and handled some 2.2 million metric tons of
cargo (airfreight and airmail) in 2014. For the current winter
timetable, FRA is served by 88 passenger airlines flying to 247
destinations in 100 countries worldwide. More than half of FRA's
destinations are intercontinental (beyond Europe) - underscoring
Frankfurt's role as a leading hub in the global air transportation
system. In Europe, Frankfurt Airport ranks first in terms of cargo
tonnage and is the third-busiest for passenger traffic. With about
55 percent of all passengers using Frankfurt as a connecting hub, FRA
also has the highest transfer rate among the major European hubs.

Frankfurt Airport City has become Germany's largest job complex at
a single location, employing more than 80,000 people at some 500
companies and organizations on site. Major new real estate
developments - such as The Squaire, the Gateway Gardens business
park, and the Mönchhof Logistics Park - are creating an exciting new
dimension and range of services at the evolving Frankfurt Airport
City of the 21st century.

Almost half of Germany's population lives within a 200-kilometer
radius of the FRA intermodal travel hub - the largest airport
catchment area in Europe. FRA Airport City also serves as a magnet
for other companies located throughout the economically vital
Frankfurt/Rhine-Main-Neckar region. Thanks to synergies associated
with the region's dynamic industries, networked expertise, and
outstanding intermodal transportation infrastructure, FRA's world
route network enables Hesse's and Germany's export-oriented
businesses to flourish in global growth markets.

Frankfurt Airport meets the increasing needs of the
export-oriented economies of the State of Hesse as well as Germany as
a whole, for optimal connections to growth markets around the globe.
Likewise, FRA is a strategic gateway for companies wanting to access
the huge European marketplace. Thus, Frankfurt Airport - which is
strategically located in the heart of Europe - is one of the most
important hubs in the global logistics chain.
