Traffic to Latin America rose 2.8%, while Middle East demand dropped 7.8% amid geopolitical tensions. North American traffic remained stable.
CEO Dr. Stefan Schulte urged swift government action to maintain Germany’s aviation competitiveness, highlighting Frankfurt’s improved punctuality and shorter wait times thanks to tech upgrades.
