Frankfurt Airport's cargo traffic in November is up 5pc to 197,615 tonnes
FRANKFURT International Airport (FRA), part of the Fraport Group, saw its cargo volume increase by five per cent year on year in November to 197,615 tonnes, up from October's weak increase of 0.7 per cent.
November's rebound was attributed to a 16.6 per cent year-on-year rise in aircraft movements. Aircraft movements in November 2016 were lower due to pilot strikes that led to the cancellation of thousands of flights. Accumulated maximum take-off weight also rose 12.7 per cent at FRA last month, reported New York's Air Cargo World.
Among Fraport's other fully-consolidated airports, Ljubljana Airport in Slovenia recorded a year-on-year increase of 13.2 per cent to 1,052 tonnes in November, while air cargo volume at Lima Airport declined 4.7 per cent to 26,843 tonnes. Fraport Twin Star airports in Bulgaria registered a hefty decline of 61.5 per cent in cargo traffic to total 684 tonnes.
At Fraport's equity consolidated airports, Germany's Hanover Airport recorded an 8.5 per cent year-on-year increase in cargo volumes to 1,870 tonnes, while Xi'an Airport in China saw volumes grow by 6.3 per cent to 23,549 tonnes.
