Passenger figures at Frankfurt Airport approach previous year's
level / Cargo tonnage increases / Group Airports in Fraport's
international portfolio report positive trend

In October 2016, Frankfurt Airport (FRA) welcomed some 5.7 million
passengers, thus reaching nearly the same level as in the same month
of last year (down 0.3 percent). Cargo throughput (airfreight +
airmail) increased strongly by 4.8 percent to 194,108 metric tons.
This represents Frankfurt Airport's second highest cargo volume for
an October month. The growth momentum was driven, among other
things, by the positive trend in the German industrial sector.

Aircraft movements decreased by 1.5 percent to 41,939 takeoffs and
landings in the reporting month. Despite a slight 0.3 percent decline
on the previous year, maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) posted the
second highest score in an October month to date, reaching some 2.7
million metric tons.

Airports in Fraport AG's international portfolio developed
positively overall in October 2016. A total of 132,081 passengers
used Ljubljana Airport (LJU) in Slovenia's capital city - an increase
of 2.8 percent year-on-year. Lima Airport (LIM) in Peru recorded
strong traffic growth of 7.5 percent to some 1.7 million passengers
in October 2016. Similarly, the combined traffic figures for the Twin
Star airports of Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ) on the Bulgarian Black
Sea coast grew noticeably by 16.6 percent to 100,604 passengers. In
St. Petersburg, Russia, Pulkovo Airport (LED) welcomed nearly 1.2
million passengers in the reporting month, up 8.6 percent. Hanover
Airport (HAJ) in northern Germany also registered growth of 2.2
percent to 594,104 passengers. In China, Xi'an Airport (XIY) again
achieved significant growth of 15.1 percent to almost 3.4 million
passengers. Only Antalya Airport (AYT) in Turkey continued to see
traffic decline by 15.7 percent to just under 2.4 million passengers.
