Special Effects and International Instability Dampen March Traffic Growth at FRA

FRANKFURT, Germany, April 12, 2011 - Frankfurt Airport welcomed about 11.8 million passengers in
the first quarter of 2011 - up 3.7 percent year-on-year. Germany's largest
aviation gateway also handled more than 540,000 metric tons of airfreight
from January to March 2011 - a 3.5 percent jump compared to the first quarter
of 2010. Aircraft movements climbed by 5.2 percent to more than 114,000
takeoffs and landings. Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) increased
by 5.9 percent to more than 6.8 million metric tons from January to March
2011
.

March 2011 contributed only partially to FRA's traffic growth.
Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) of more than 2.4 million metric
tons in the reporting month represented a new record March figure (up 3.4
percent) and aircraft movements climbed to about 40,900 takeoffs and landings
(up 2.0 percent). In contrast, passenger and airfreight traffic remained
virtually unchanged. The slight dip in passenger figures year-on-year can be
attributed to Easter 2011 falling completely in April, whereas the majority
of last year's Easter traffic occurred during the month of March.
Furthermore, instability in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region
noticeably affected air transportation - including at FRA, which is by far
Germany's largest intercontinental hub. Welcoming 4.3 million passengers in
March 2011, FRA registered a 0.9 percent decline. With approximately 203,000
metric tons in the reporting month, FRA reported a slight 0.3 percent slide
in airfreight. The catastrophe in Japan, which has led to disruptions in
global distribution chains, was the contributing factor here.

Fraport's majority-owned airports recorded stable growth rates
in March 2011. Antalya Airport (AYT) on the Turkish Riviera registered a 19.3
percent jump in passenger traffic, while Peru's Lima Airport (LIM) achieved a
23.0 percent surge. At the Bulgarian Black Sea holiday airports, Varna (VAR)
reported growth of 12.5 percent and Burgas (BOJ) more than 130 percent - a
conspicuous large value resulting from the relatively small statistical base
for winter flight operations. Total passenger traffic for the Fraport Group's
five majority-owned airports advanced by 5.2 percent to 6.3 million in the
reporting month. Total figures for the first quarter of 2011 reached 16.9
million passengers - representing average growth of 7.7 percent for the
Group. In particular, passenger traffic rose by 14.1 percent at AYT, by 20.9
percent at LIM, and at Bulgaria's VAR and BOJ airports by 10.0 percent and
131.2 percent, respectively.
