Fraport Traffic Figures – November 2018: Growth Trend Continues
Passenger numbers at Frankfurt Airport on the rise – Largely positive development at the international Group airports
In a similar vein, aircraft movements in November increased by 5.3 percent to 41,192 takeoffs and landings. Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) rose by 3.3 percent to around 2.5 million metric tons. Only the cargo throughput (airfreight + airmail) declined in November, falling by 2.1 percent to around 196,537 million metric tons in response to the growing uncertainty in global trade.
