FRANKFURT, November 11 - Frankfurt Airport's traffic figures continued on the recovery
path during the reporting month of October 2009. Fraport AG registered about
4.6 million passengers at its Frankfurt Airport home base in October 2009,
only slightly down by 1.9 percent year-on-year.

"October 2009 continued the positive trend in traffic
development that we have seen during the course of the year," Fraport
executive board chairman Dr. Stefan Schulte said. "Following a 10.9 percent
drop in passenger traffic in the first quarter, the decline shrank to 5.6
percent in the second quarter and narrowed to only 2.8 percent by the third
quarter. October 2009 figures indicated that the decline in traffic is
increasingly lessening." One of factors contributing to this improvement is
intercontinental traffic, which recorded particularly strong growth on the
Asia and Central Africa routes.

FRA's airfreight tonnage improved even more noticeably in
October 2009. "Airfreight is an important early indicator of how the
worldwide economy is developing. For the first time since June 2008, this
traffic segment recorded growth at FRA in October 2009 - reaching

177,945 metric tons or a plus of 0.7 percent," explained
Schulte. The major growth drivers included European traffic (up 18 percent)
as well as Frankfurt Airport's important North America market (up slightly by
1.1 percent).

FRA's aircraft movements fell by 4.4 percent to 40,674
takeoffs and landings in the reporting month, while maximum takeoff weights
(MTOWs) slipped by 3.9 percent year-on-year to 2.4 million metric tons.

The Fraport Group's majority-owned airports progressed
overall. In October 2009, these six airports welcomed about 7.5 million
passengers - only 0.1 percent fewer passengers year-on-year. In particular,
Peru's Lima Airport (LIM) and Turkey's Antalya Airport (AYT) - where Fraport
is now operating both international terminals as well as the domestic
terminal - provided positive stimulus to the total traffic results. LIM
served about 772,000 passengers (up 6.8 percent) and AYT welcomed about two
million passengers (up 2.7 percent).
