Germany’s hub airport Frankfurt saw traffic jump by nearly 20 per cent in September compared with the same month last year but passenger numbers remain below the corresponding pre-Covid period.
Airport operator Fraport said Frankfurt catered for 5.8 million travellers last month but this was still 13.9 per cent below traffic levels recorded in September 2019.
For the first nine months of the year, Frankfurt served 44.5 million passengers, up by 23.9 per cent on the same period in 2022 but 17.8 per cent lower than during 2019.
Frankfurt’s recovery from the pandemic has so far lagged other major European hubs, such as London Heathrow, which last week announced a record-breaking September for traffic with 7 million passengers.
Fraport added that its global network of regional airports had seen year-on-year passenger traffic grow in September by 12.1 per cent to reach 19.3 million travellers.
