During the first six months of 2014, the airport witnessed a new historic half-year passenger record, serving 27.8 million passengers, representing a 2.4% year-on-year increase.
Aircraft movements remained stable with 229,039 takeoffs and landings during the month. Deploying larger aircraft helped accumulated MTOWs rise 1.9% to 14 million tonnes for the airport.
FRA attributed this growth to increasing efficiency, ongoing replacement of aircraft, as well as flight timetable stability and reliability.
