Intercontinental traffic drives FRA's passenger growth –
Group airports in Fraport's international portfolio report mixed
results
FRANKFURT, Germany,
Oct. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
FRA/gk-rap - Frankfurt Airport (FRA) welcomed some 6.7 million
passengers – an increase of 1.3 percent year-on-year.
Correspondingly, aircraft movements climbed by 1.7 percent to
46,713 takeoffs and landings. Accumulated maximum takeoff weights
(MTOWs) also rose by 1.4 percent to more than 2.9 million metric
tons. In contrast, cargo throughput (airfreight + airmail) shrank
by 5.5 percent to 174,789 metric tons, reflecting the ongoing
global economic slowdown.
In the January-to-September 2019
period, some 54 million passengers passed through Frankfurt
Airport, representing an increase of 2.3 percent on the previous
year. Growth was mainly driven by intercontinental traffic (up 3.4
percent), while European traffic grew at a slower 1.7 percent rate.
Aircraft movements climbed to a total of 392,549 takeoffs and
landings. Accumulated MTOWs expanded by 1.9 percent to almost 24.3
million metric tons in the reporting period. Only cargo volumes
dropped by 2.9 percent to just under 1.6 million metric tons.
During the first nine months of the year, the airports in
Fraport's international portfolio registered mixed results. In
September 2019, passenger traffic
decelerated at most of Fraport's Group airports worldwide. This can
be attributed to the weaker global economy, as well as the
bankruptcy of several airlines and tour operators – with other
providers unable to fully absorb the additional capacity
immediately.
From January to September 2019,
traffic at Slovenia's Ljubljana
Airport (LJU) rose by 1.9 percent to some 1.5 million passengers in
the first nine months of the year (September
2019: down 10.1 percent to 172,387 passengers). Fraport's
two Brazilian airports in Fortaleza (FOR) and Porto Alegre (POA) achieved combined traffic
growth of 4.6 percent to over 11.3 million passengers (September 2019: down 5.4 percent to about 1.2
million passengers). Traffic at Lima Airport (LIM) in Peru advanced by 6.7 percent to some 17.6
million passengers (September 2019:
up 7.8 percent to just under 2 million passengers).
Fraport's 14 Greek regional airports closed the first nine
months of 2019 with a moderate increase of 1.0 percent to nearly
26.2 million passengers overall (September
2019: down 1.6 percent to almost 4.5 million passengers).
Fraport's Twin Star airports of Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ) in Bulgaria reported a total drop of 11.6 percent
to around 4.6 million passengers (September
2019: down 10.8 percent to 703,163 passengers). With some
29.1 million passengers, Antalya Airport (AYT) on the Turkish
Riviera posted a traffic gain of 10.0 percent (September 2019: up 9.3 percent to about 4.8
million passengers). Pulkovo Airport (LED) in St. Petersburg, Russia, served some 15.2
million passengers in the year to September, representing an
increase of 8.1 percent (September
2019: up 5.0 percent to nearly 2 million passengers).
Traffic at Xi'an Airport (XIY) in China grew by 6.2 percent to more than 35.6
million passengers (September 2019:
up 5.9 percent to almost 4 million passengers).
