Dear Sir and Madam.
Due to a technical error, the January 2017 traffic figures have
been prematurely distributed to the capital market. Contrary to
the generally valid publication dates, we therefore are now
distributing these traffic figures to representatives of the
press. Thank you for your understanding.

FRA's passenger growth trend continues - Strong rise also in cargo
tonnage

Some 4.2 million passengers used Frankfurt Airport (FRA) in
January 2017, resulting in an increase of about 75,000 passengers (up
1.8 percent) and a new January monthly record at FRA. Thus, this
continues the passenger growth trend set during the last two months
of 2016. FRA's cargo volume rose briskly by 5.6 percent to 168,556
metric tons. The growing global demand for goods and the timing of
the Chinese New Year encouraged these dynamic developments at the
beginning of 2017.

Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) at FRA dropped
slightly by 1.6 percent to about 2.2 million metric tons. Aircraft
movements also decreased slightly by 1.0 percent to 33,900 takeoffs
and landings.

Fraport's international airport portfolio reported the following
traffic performance in January 2017. Ljubljana Airport (LJU) in the
capital of Slovenia achieved a noticeable 21.5 percent rise in
traffic to 89,396 passengers. At Lima Airport (LIM) in the Peruvian
capital, traffic advanced by 11.8 percent to 1.7 million passengers.
Fraport's Twin Star Airports of Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ) on the
Bulgarian Black Sea coast together welcomed 39,326 passengers, down
4.5 percent year-on-year. With 675,991 air travelers, Antalya Airport
(AYT) on the Turkish Riviera also experienced a slight decline of 1.9
percent. In contrast, in northern Germany, Hanover Airport (HAJ)
received 300,722 passengers, up 1.7 percent. St. Petersburg Airport
(LED) in Russia reported a noticeable 29.8 percent jump in traffic to
some one million passengers. In China, Xi'an Airport (XIY) recorded a
strong 19.2 percent surge in traffic to more than 3.3 million
passengers in the reporting month.
