The largest airport in Germany, Frankfurt am Main, counted a total of 2021 travelers in April 983.839. In direct comparison with the same month last year, this corresponds to an increase of 423,1 percent, but this is not meaningful due to the lockdown. The decrease compared to April 2019 is 83,7 percent.
The freight volume increased again in April 2021. An increase of 42,7 percent to 201.661 tons was recorded. Compared to April 2021, this value corresponds to a growth of 13,1 percent. All Fraport Group's airports worldwide recorded high growth rates in April 2021 - for the first time since the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis.
