Frankfurt Airport is one of the world's most important airports. It has become Germany's largest employment complex at a single location, with more than 450 companies and organizations providing jobs for more than 80,000 people. FRA is the home base of the Star Alliance and also served by a long roster of other airlines from all over the globe.
Frankfurt Airport welcomed more than 70.5 million passengers and handled 2.1 million metric tons of cargo (airfreight and airmail) in 2019. Only 18.8 million passengers traveled through FRA in 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Cargo volumes still reached nearly 2.0 million metric tons in 2020.
A leading hub in the global air transportation system, FRA continues to be one of Europe’s most important aviation gateways both in terms of passenger traffic and cargo tonnage. From Frankfurt Airport – which is strategically located in the heart of Europe – it takes only three hours to fly to Madrid, London, Moscow or Athens, nine to Chicago and 11 to Mumbai or Guangzhou.
As an experienced airport manager, Fraport is expanding Frankfurt Airport together with partners into Frankfurt Airport City – an outstanding real-estate location and gateway of mobility and excitement.
