FRANKFURT, Germany,
March 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Fraport AG welcomed about 3.6 million passengers at its
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) home base during the reporting month of
February 2013 - representing a slight
increase of 0.2 percent over the same month last year. The
Fraport airport company's February traffic figures were partially
impacted by opposing special and base effects. These included the
effects of the GDF strike in February
2012, weather-related flight cancellations, the absence of a
leap day versus last year, and the airlines' continuing
consolidation of flights during the winter timetable. FRA's cargo
traffic fell by three per cent in the reporting month to 156,258
metric tons. Aircraft movements declined by 2.1 percent to 33,656
takeoffs and landings.
Overall, Fraport's five majority-owned airports served about 5.4
million passengers, up 2.9 percent year-on-year. Peru's Lima Airport (LIM) continued its growth
path, with nearly 1.2 million passengers served in February 2013. Antalya Airport (AYT) in the
Turkish Riviera received 627,411 million passengers. Bulgaria's Burgas (BOJ) and Varna (VAR) airports registered a total of
25,974 passengers.
