The airport operator Fraport is further expanding the air freight location in Frankfurt.

An air freight hall for DHL Global Forwarding, the air and sea freight specialists of the Deutsche Post DHL Group, will be built in the immediate vicinity of Gate 31 from mid-2023. The building site covers an area of ​​almost 60.000 square meters, the hall itself including office space will have a gross floor area of ​​28.000 square meters. Fraport will keep the hall in its inventory, the Deutsche Post subsidiary will use it as a tenant.

"The basic concept of the hall is based on many years of expertise in the project development of logistics and air freight real estate at the Frankfurt Airport location," says Jan Sieben, Head of Real Estate Development at Fraport AG. “The finished hall layout, including outdoor facilities, will offer optimal conditions for the needs of the tenant. For us, however, design planning and building specifications are always based on the premise that the property will be attractive for subsequent tenants at a later date,” he emphasizes.

After completion of the latest hall project, two more areas with a total of around 90.000 square meters of floor space will be available for future development measures in the CCS, as the airport operator announced in a press release.
