    FRANKFURT Airport has reported a 2.3 per cent year-on-year increase in April cargo throughput to 189,634 tonnes.

    It also reported continuous increases in passenger numbers and aircraft movements with traffic also growing across Fraport's international Group airports.

    In April, Frankfurt Airport (FRA) welcomed some 5.7 million passengers - an increase of 5.8 per cent. Without strike and weather-related flight cancellations, passenger numbers at FRA would have risen by 7.2 per cent. 

    During the January-to-April period, FRA achieved accumulated growth of 8.7 per cent. European traffic (up 10.8 per cent) continued to be the driver of passenger growth in April. 

    Aircraft movements climbed 8.4 per cent to 42,922 takeoffs and landings in April 2018. Again, European traffic was the primary growth driver (up 11.6 per cent). Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) expanded by 5.5 per cent to some 2.6 million tonnes.

    Across the group, airports in Fraport's international portfolio all showed positive performance. Ljubljana Airport (LJU) in Slovenia's capital city served 157,837 passengers, representing an increase of 19.4 per cent. Fraport's two Brazilian airports in Fortaleza (FOR) and Porto Alegre (POA) reported combined traffic growth of 2.8 per cent to about 1.1 million passengers.

    Overall traffic at the 14 Greek regional airports surged by 10.6 per cent to over 1.3 million passengers. Specifically, high-traffic Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) rebounded strongly, with the airport serving 521,822 passengers in April 2018 (up 10.1 per cent). 

    In March 2018, SKG still reported declining passenger numbers due to the runway closure in connection with renovation works. Lima Airport (LIM) in Peru posted 9.2 per cent traffic growth to about 1.7 million passengers. 

    At the Twin Star airports of Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ) on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, passenger numbers soared by 59.2 per cent to a total of 124,421 passengers. 

    Traffic at Antalya Airport (AYT) in Turkey rose by 27.5 per cent to around 1.9 million passengers. A total of 491,250 passengers used Hanover Airport (HAJ) in northern Germany, up 5.8 per cent. 

    Pulkovo Airport (LED) in St Petersburg, Russia, saw traffic advance by 11.8 per cent to some 1.3 million passengers. In China, Xi'an Airport (XIY) welcomed about 3.7 million passengers, representing an increase of 8.3 per cent.
