Fraport traffic figures – April 2022: Easter travel boosts passenger numbers noticeably

Frankfurt Airport, Terminal 2.

Frankfurt Airport records strongest month since the pandemic began. Fraport’s Group airports worldwide report dynamic increase in demand. Greek airports almost reach pre-crisis levels.

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) welcomed some 4.0 million passengers in April 2022, representing an increase of 303.8 percent compared to April 2021. As a result, Germany’s largest aviation hub recorded its strongest traffic month since the beginning of the pandemic – with April 2022 passenger numbers even exceeding the monthly levels achieved during last year’s summer season. Compared to pre-pandemic April 2019, passenger traffic was still down by 34.2 percent in the reporting month.

Across the Group, the airports in Fraport’s international portfolio also benefitted in April 2022 from the ongoing rebound in passenger demand. All of the Fraport Group airports worldwide achieved traffic gains of more than 100 percent compared to April 2021.

Ljubljana Airport (LJU) in Slovenia welcomed 69,699 passengers in April 2022. At the two Brazilian airports of Fortaleza (FOR) and Porto Alegre (POA), combined traffic grew to 886,505 passengers. Peru’s Lima Airport (LIM) recorded some 1.4 million passengers. Fraport’s 14 regional airports in Greece received a total of 1.4 million passengers in April 2022 – thus nearly reaching pre-crisis levels again (down only 2.4 percent compared to April 2019). On the Bulgarian Riviera, the Twin Star airports of Burgas (BOJ) and Varna (VAR) also achieved a traffic increase, with a total of 95,951 passengers served in the reporting month. Traffic at Antalya Airport (AYT) on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast rose to about 1.5 million passengers.
