FRA Achieves New October Monthly Record for Passenger Traffic and
Accumulated Maximum Takeoff Weights - Group Airports Report Mainly
Positive Results

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) welcomed 5.7 million passengers in the
reporting month - growing by a noticeable 4.3 percent and setting a
new October record. In comparison, the 2014 October statistics were
influenced by Lufthansa's two-day pilot strike. This was also
reflected in October 2015 by the growth rates registered for aircraft
movements and accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs). Aircraft
movements advanced by 1.5 percent to 42,572 takeoffs and landings.
MTOWs grew by 2.8 percent to set a new record of some 2.7 million
metric tons. FRA's cargo throughput (airfreight + airmail) fell by
1.5 percent to 185,222 metric tons.

Fraport AG's international airport portfolio achieved mainly
positive results for passenger traffic in October 2015. Ljubljana
Airport (LJU) in Slovenia greeted 128,478 passengers, representing a
significant 9.4 percent traffic surge compared to the same month last
year. Serving 1.6 million passengers, Lima Airport (LIM) in the
capital of Peru recorded strong growth of 11.7 percent. The Bulgarian
Black Sea airports of Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ) saw traffic rise
by 10.5 percent to 86,290 passengers. Antalya Airport (AYT) on the
Turkish Riviera experienced a slight 0.8 percent drop in traffic to
2.8 million passengers. St Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport (LED) in
Russia declined by 5.1 percent to 1.1 million passengers, due to the
weak domestic economy. At Hanover Airport (HAJ) in northern Germany,
traffic climbed by 1.8 percent to 581,355 passengers. Traffic figures
at Xi'an Airport (XIY) in central China advanced by 8.7 percent to
2.9 million passengers.

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 five 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 some 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.
