Airfreight Grows Strongly Again - Passenger Figures Return to Previous Year's Level

FRANKFURT, December 10 - FRA/rap> In November 2009 traffic development at Frankfurt Airport (FRA)
received another strong push forward. "Traffic during the past month has
impressively confirmed a clear growth trend and has even partly exceeded our
expectations. Frankfurt Airport's traffic figures are climbing noticeably,"
explained Fraport executive board chairman Dr. Stefan Schulte. In the
reporting month, Fraport AG registered 3.9 million passengers at its
Frankfurt intercontinental hub, only 0.2 percent fewer than in November 2008.

"Thus, Frankfurt Airport's passenger volume almost reached last year's
level. Group-wide, Fraport even recorded a 3.3 percent jump in passenger
traffic," Schulte said with satisfaction. The growth driver at FRA was
intercontinental flights, with routes to America and Asia experiencing
particularly strong growth again.

November's figures continued to diminish the traffic decline at FRA in
2009. Following the double-digit drop in passenger figures at the beginning
of the year, the January-to-November 2009 period registered a total of about
47.1 million passengers or a drop of 5.3 percent.

Airfreight figures showed even more noticeable growth in the reporting
month. "Following Frankfurt Airport's slight 0.7 percent increase in tonnage
in October 2009 - the first positive month since June 2008 - airfreight
throughput experienced a strong 7.0 percent rise to 188,596 metric tons in
November 2009," said Schulte. In this case, the main driving force was
European traffic, which achieved over-proportional growth of about 18
percent.

Airfreight is considered an important early indicator of worldwide
economic development. FRA handled approximately 1.7 million metric tons of
airfreight from January-to-November 2009, down 12.8 percent year-on-year.
"This is also very good when you consider that we were experiencing declines
in airfreight of up to 30 percent at the beginning of the year," stressed
Fraport's executive board chairman.

Aircraft movements at FRA slipped in November 2009 by 0.9 percent to
38,385 takeoffs and landings. Maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) fell by one
percent year-on-year to about 2.3 million metric tons.

At the Fraport Group's majority-owned airports, almost all traffic
segments experienced significant growth. In November 2009, Fraport recorded
about 5.5 million passengers at these six airports, up 3.3 percent
year-on-year. Peru's Lima Airport (LIM) welcomed about 762,000 passengers (up
13.3 percent) and Turkey's Antalya Airport (AYT) received 771,000 passengers
(up 13.6 percent). "The positive trend in air traffic is increasingly being
confirmed and is a clear indicator that we have emerged from the trough of
the recession," concluded Schulte.
