Germany’s largest aviation hub served 4.8 million passengers in November, a 4.0% increase compared to the same month last year.
Leisure Demand: Extended fall vacations in Bavaria fueled high demand for Mediterranean destinations, with Italy (+16.4%) and Greece (+10.9%) leading the growth.

International Portfolio Highlights
Most of Fraport’s international airports reported positive growth, with several regions showing double-digit increases:
Brazil (+31.1%): Combined traffic at Fortaleza and Porto Alegre reached 1.2 million. This sharp rise is partly attributed to a recovery period following the flood-related closure of Porto Alegre in 2024.
Bulgaria (+38.0%): The Twin Star airports (Burgas and Varna) saw the highest percentage growth in the portfolio.
Slovenia (+17.5%): Ljubljana Airport continued its strong recovery with over 105,000 passengers.
