Despite the handling chaos of the past few weeks, significantly more passengers are using Frankfurt Airport again. The listed operator Fraport has therefore significantly increased its annual forecast to 45 to 50 million guests. Previously, 39 to 46 million passengers were expected for the largest German hub. However, the pre-corona year 2019 marked the record with more than 70 million passengers, and the airport is still a long way from that.
In June, the 5 million monthly mark was exceeded again for the first time. However, the recent massive deficiencies in handling have led to long waiting times, lost luggage and flight cancellations.
