Frankfurt Airport (FRA) welcomed 61.6 million passengers in 2024, a 3.7% increase from 2023, driven by strong demand for European medium-haul flights and growing long-haul routes to North America, the Far East, and South America.
Despite this growth, passenger numbers remain 12.7% below pre-pandemic 2019 levels. Cargo volumes at FRA rose by 6.2% to 2.1 million metric tonnes, and aircraft movements grew by 2.4% to 440,853.
Globally, Fraport’s airports achieved strong results:
However, Brazil’s Fortaleza and Porto Alegre airports faced a 27.1% drop due to temporary closures from flooding, while Bulgarian airports saw an 8.7% decline.
Fraport CEO Dr Stefan Schulte highlighted Frankfurt’s connectivity as vital for Germany’s economy but warned rising government costs could threaten its competitive edge. Total passenger traffic across Fraport’s global network grew by 3.7% to 174.5 million in 2024.
