Mobility is the new spirit of our world, which is ushering in the future at a breakneck pace. Both in the lives of people everywhere and in the global economy. People and merchandise flows are increasing hugely, confronting us with enormous challenges. But also presenting us with even bigger opportunities. Asia's burgeoning economic regions and the eastward expansion of the European Union alone are bound to deliver strong new thrusts of mobility. According to the forecasts for Frankfurt Airport, the annual number of flight movements will climb from 457,000 currently to 660,000 by 2015, the yearly passenger volumes will grow from 50 to 80 million, and the amount of cargo handled will increase from 1.5 million to 2.7 million metric tons.
Frankfurt Airport already ranks at the top of the short lists of many airlines. Not only is it one of the foremost ten international air traffic hubs, it also leads in terms of highly professional airport management. With total commitment to serving in a spirit of partnership, Fraport supports its customers with its first-class experience, expertise and innovativeness, optimally efficient flight and terminal management, and seamlessly integrated ground handling and cargo services. Plus, in order to help airlines tap greater potentials, Fraport has already begun getting Frankfurt Airport City ready for the future. Through a mammoth innovation and modernization program, the airport is pushing back the envelope of what's possible and growing to become one of the world's most heavily trafficked cities. As an A380-compatible airport with an A380 hangar, and by planning another passenger terminal and a new landing runway and introducing technical innovations, new logistics, trade and business parks, and additional cargo areas. We invite you to join us in a successful future!
