Under the newly signed deal, Fraport and Beijing Capital International Airport’s VIP Service company has already begun providing standardised products at both the airports.

Hartmann added: “The choice of Frankfurt as the first European airport for this type of cooperation can be attributed to the excellent facilities and processes for transfer passengers and the large number of flight connections available at the Frankfurt hub.”

In July, Fraport announced that its fully-owned subsidiary Aerodrom Ljubljana would set up the Fraport Aviation Academy at Slovenia’s Ljubljana Airport (LJU) by the end of 2016. 

The €3.9m centre will initially provide training in airport management, ramp handling, passenger handling, dangerous goods, occupational safety, and fire services.
