2015 – A Year of Facts and Anniversaries!
What do the 2015 air traffic statistics have to feature?
The year 2015 featured various anniversaries and highlights. With
over 60 million passengers, a new record for the annual passenger
count was set in December 2015. Never before were so many
passengers in Frankfurt! However, we will certainly soon welcome
even more passengers. This is why Fraport started the construction
of Terminal 3 in October.
60 million passengers in 2015
60 million passengers:
During a celebration in Terminal
1, executive board member
Anke Giesen presented a travel
voucher to the 60 millionth
passenger, Antonia Hein (13
years old, from Fulda).
2015 also meant 65 years of air traffic statistics at Frankfurt Airport
after the end of World War II. Starting 1950 more detailed statistics
were recorded and soon a Statistical Annual Report was published
(see illustration at the right). For this reason we have featured the
statistics and connected evaluations in the style of the 1950s.
In the 1990s the department responsible for air traffic statistics
started to gather and process the traffic data electronically together
with Fiplan GmbH. Electronic data is available for 20 years now
(since 1995). Pages 11 and 12 show some examples of odd
figures.

1,993,467
1,950,726 | 97.9 %
2014
2015
The three year comparison shows a declining count of aircraft movements. This is due to fleet enhancements of the airlines which continue to
deploy ever bigger aircraft or install more dense seating in their aircraft. Concerning cargo we see a turning point in 2014.

The share of passengers increased steadily in recent years and the amount of airmail has likewise increased.
For years the share of foreign country traffic generally remains constant (yellow).
The data shown here refers to domestic traffic, that is arrivals + departures. The counts shown for freight and airmail were converted to tons. Consequently,
there can be some differences due to rounding up or down.

2015 – A Year of Facts and Anniversaries!
“Have there not been 45 years of market research this year?“ A
justified question – market research at Fraport exists since 1970.
Even though not always located at the airport, the employees were
always busy analyzing and researching to have or give an overview
of the market.
Based on the life of a 45-year-old individual, this person will have
experienced or even contributed to different developments. This
means that one can rely on acquired knowledge and many
experiences gained throughout life. At the same time, new
challenges have to be faced.

Market research is a platform for entrepreneurial decision-making
with all the results, analyses and projections. Neutrality is always a
high priority and this will continue to be the case in the future, too.

The same applies for market research. It was subjected to
permanent changes in regard to both methods and technology:
from the drawing of graphics on scale paper to big data analyses.
The subject itself of market research – i.e., the air traffic market –
became more complex. This requires a permanent adaptation of
market research tools.

Facts… “60 Million Passengers“
−
−
−
−
It took less than 60 years to surpass the mark of 60 million
passengers within one year.
If adding the annual passenger count since 1950 it took until
1970 to reach the 60 million mark.
To carry 60 million passengers an Airbus 321-200 would have
to conduct over 390,000 flights*.
Frankfurt Airport serves an average of 167,235 passengers
daily. Based on this, the 60 million mark would have to be
reached after 358.8 days on December 25, 2015. However,
the objective was already accomplished three days earlier on
December 22, 2015.

Facts... “20 Years of Electronic Data“
Twenty years of electronic data mean plenty of passengers, seats,
aircraft movements and cargo tons. The counts mean, for example,
that in 20 years all Chinese citizens would have found a seat. If
looking at the mail one can state that there would have been
enough letters side by side to cover a stretch from the earth to half
way to Mars. That is about 28,187 million kilometers. Freight
tonnage would be about 6 times the weight of the Cheops pyramid
(approx. 6,400,00 mt). Cumulated MTOW is 6.6 times the amount
of cargo handled at Hamburg‘s port (137.8 million tons in 2015).
The “Data Aircraft“
The “data aircraft“, Airbus A321-200
If one calculates the averages of the counts listed below the
data aircraft would have a MTOW of 95.32 t (corresponds to an
Airbus 321-200) and 154 seats of which 111 would be used by
passengers. There would be 0.23 mt mail on the aircraft and
3.95 mt freight.

Passenger traffic 2015
A new record was set by Frankfurt Airport once again in 2015. For the first time in the history of the airport, more than 60 million
passengers were served in a calendar year. With a growth rate of about 1.5 million passengers (+2.5 %), about 61 million passengers
were counted in 2015. Strike-related cancellations, affecting approx. 766,000 passengers, impaired even more growth. Without the events
causing a disturbance of flight operations there would have been 61.8 million passengers and a growth rate 0f 3.8 %. January still
reflected the weakness seen in the winter months of 2014.
6,5
There was a robust and dynamic demand for travel starting in
February. Even the first pilot strike of the year did not have a
major impact on the March result. There was a series of new
6,0
records for six consecutive months including August. Every
month saw a new record for that specific month. August set a
5,5
new record for a single month with about 6.3 million
passengers. The magic level of 200,000 passengers per day
was surpassed on 63 days in 2015. August 2 saw a record
5,0
217,500 passengers for a single day. There was a pilot strike
2012
in September and this initiated a downward trend of the
cumulated growth figures. Of the +4.3 % achieved until
2013
4,5
August, only +2.5 % remained by the end of the year. A major
2014
strike in November fueled the downward spiral. About
470,000 missing passengers created a double-digit minus
4,0
2015
which could not be compensated by the end of the year due
to the continuous threats of possible new strikes.

Passenger traffic by region 2015
28
Passagierverkehr Regionen 2015
The developments during the last quarter of 2015 specifically impacted domestic traffic (+3.0 %). Looking at the overall growth rate,
domestic traffic was up most dynamically at first. Up to the start of the fourth quarter the domestic routes profited from the base effects the
year before. The domestic flights were heavily affected by the strike of cabin personnel. Despite the resulting minus during the fourth
quarter, domestic traffic faired better than traffic to and from foreign countries.
With a growth rate of 2.5 %, the intercontinental traffic returned to its earlier growth dynamics. This growth was mainly triggered by Asian
traffic (+4.3 %). All high passenger-volume routes to and from Asia reported good growth and in some cases even double-digit growth
rates. In contrast, Thailand (political crisis) and Singapore (expansion of Middle East hubs) lost passengers. In the Middle East, growth
was carried by the Emirates with their hub airports. Israel reported the highest growth rate following a recovery in demand for travel.
Traffic to and from Africa declined during the year due to the negative influence of North Africa. After terrorist attacks and crises, traffic to
and from Tunisia plummeted downwards. After a short period of recovery, Egypt also did not achieve any growth by the end of the year.
Looking at the shift of demand for travel to specific regions (tourism travel to Greece also suffered due to the financial debt crisis in that
country), Turkey profited because that country was able to provide sufficient capacities for vacationers because of fewer and fewer
Russians visiting and vacationing in that country. Thus, Turkey handled more than one-third of the additional travel. For the same reason
the downward trend regarding traffic to and from the Balearic Islands and the Caribbean region could be stopped. Both markets
experienced growth again. However, the Canary Islands did not benefit from this shift of the demand on the part of tourism passengers.

Cargo traffic 2015
In 2015 the cargo (airfreight + airmail) count was down by 2.3 % to about 2.115 million mt. The share of airfreight experienced a
disproportionately high decrease of 2.5%, while the other sub-category, airmail, increased by 3.1% to 83,700 mt. Airmail experienced
dynamic growth in both the first and last quarter. In 2015 air cargo was characterized by the weakness of world trade and the economic
problems in the emerging markets.
The development in China gives reason to worry. Chinese
imports and exports via air cargo started to become
negative as the year progressed. Nonetheless, at the end
of the year world trade and exports from West Europe to
China started to show a slight sign of recovery. Inbound
cargo at Frankfurt Airport experienced an above-average
decline, down 3.0 %. Specifically inbound cargo from the
Far East markedly decreased. For this region only Japan
recorded a dynamic growth rate. The development of
freight rates, which are falling for sea cargo traffic, reflected
the weak demand on routes from the Far East to Germany.
The highest decline was seen for the Far East regarding
outbound cargo, too. Weak demand in Brazil affected
outbound cargo from Frankfurt Airport to Brazil so that his
count was also noticeably down. A positive figure in Latin
American traffic, by contrast, can be reported for outbound
cargo to Mexico with about 20 % more cargo heading to
that country.

Cargo traffic by region 2015
42
Cargo traffic by region 2015
In total, traffic to/from the USA stagnated in 2015. At the same time there was less tonnage shipped to/from Canada so that there was a
decline of 1.1 % for North America. Major declines (-9.3 %) must be reported for Latin America. This is the result of the weakness of
Brazil‘s economy. Cargo traffic to and from Brazil fell by about 20 %.
The biggest traffic region (Far East) had the biggest absolute declines, with capacity reductions to/from Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan
having a negative impact. There was a minor growth rate for the Middle East region due to a double-digit growth rate with Qatar. Africa
also recorded a growth rate. There was a major increase of inbound cargo from Egypt. The positive development concerning Europe was
due to the increase of tonnage via the hubs in Moscow and Istanbul.

Aircraft movements/MTOWs 2015
As was the case in 2014, aircraft movements in 2015 were also affected by strike-related cancellations. Strikes by pilots, air traffic
controllers and cabin personnel caused the cancellation of about 5,400 flights. Without strike- and weather-related cancellations the count
of 468,000 aircraft movements would have been much more positive and there would have been a growth rate of 1.0 % instead of a
minus of 0.2 %. Nonetheless, it must be stated that not considering the cancellations in both 2014 and 2015 there still would have been a
negative growth of -0.2 %.

MTOW (arr) (in mill. t)
MTOW was likewise negatively impacted by the flight cancellations. About 320,000 tons are missing by the end of the year. Despite a
possible plus of 3.1 % the statistics only show a growth of 2.0 %. The successful consolidation measures (use of bigger aircraft and
denser seating) of some airlines are the reason for the higher MTOW count in contrast to aircraft movements. A new MTOW record was
set in the year 2015.
The start of the year was somewhat slow with a declining number of aircraft movements. However, with the start of the summer timetable
there were more passenger services (flights) being offered. At the start of the winter timetable there were less passenger services being
offered again. The MTOW count did not increase in the months heavily affected by the mentioned strikes. During the summer months a
new MTOW record count was set in six individual months. A new peak record for a single month was set in August 2015, with 2.74 million
tons.
48
Aircraft movements/MTOWs 2015
The consolidation measures of the airlines to boost efficiency, which became necessary as result of the financial and debt crisis and
intensive competition between European airlines, effected a significant increase of the payload connected to passenger flights.
Consequently, the quotient “passengers per passenger flight” was up from 136.2 in 2014 to 140.2 in 2015. The seat load factor also
increased.
Whereas the count of passenger flights fell by 0.5 %, there was an increase of offered services on the cargo market. Freighter aircraft
movements were up by 3.1 % in 2015. The same efficiency increases, as seen in the passenger business, could not be achieved. The
quotient “airfreight per freighter aircraft flight” is below the count in 2014. This shows that offered freighter aircraft services were not
reduced despite less cargo being flown.

Aircraft movements by region 2015
Traffic developed heterogeneously in regard to regions. Domestic and European routes were heavily affected by the pilot strikes and
recorded a decline of -1.0 % and -0.6 %, respectively. Intercontinental traffic was up by a minimal 0.1 % despite the strikes. More
passenger services (flights) were offered to tourism destinations such as Turkey, Spain, Israel and Morocco. There were also new
connections to Denmark and Sweden.
The regions Germany, Austria and Switzerland were hit hardest by the strikes. The flights offered to and from Russia were also reduced
due to the political crisis. There were also fewer flights to and from Norway because of the low oil price affecting the Norwegian economy.
There was absolutely no traffic connected to Libya.
The offer of freighter aircraft services (flights) was up due to the growth connected to China. There were about 33 % more flights to and
from this country in 2015. Furthermore, increases can be reported for the USA and Turkey. Due to the economic sanctions far fewer
freighter aircraft flights were offered to and from Russia.
