Frankfurt Airport (FRA) continues to be on growth path. FRA
welcomed about 6.4 million passengers in June 2018, representing a
9.8 percent increase compared to the same month last year. Aircraft
movements climbed by 8.9 percent to 45, 218 takeoffs and landings,
while accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) rose by 5.5 percent
to some 2.8 million metric tons. Only cargo traffic (airfreight and
airmail) declined slightly by 2.8 percent to 182,911 metric tons in
the reporting month of June 2018.
In the first half of the year, Frankfurt Airport recorded a 9.1
percent jump in traffic to 32.7 million passengers. This can be
attributed to the increased number airline flight offerings,
particularly on European routes. Aircraft movements rose by 8.6
percent to 247,061 takeoffs and landings. Accumulated MTOWs grew by
5.9 percent to about 15.3 million metric tons. FRA's cargo
throughput reached about 1.1 million metric tons, thus remaining at
the previous year's level (up 0.1 percent).

growth in the first half of 2018. Slovenia's Ljubljana Airport (LJU)
saw traffic advance by 15.0 percent to 831,195 passengers (June 2018:
up 13.3 percent to 176,784 passengers). The Brazilian airports of
Fortaleza (FOR) and Porto Alegre (POA) together posted growth of 4.5
percent to about 6.9 million passengers (June 2018: up 6.5 percent

14 Greek airports grew by 11.0 percent to about 10.6 million
passengers (June 2018: up 10.9 percent to about 4.4 million
passengers). The three busiest Greek airports in the first half

as well as Chania (CHQ) on the island of Crete with about 1.2 million
travelers (down 0.3 percent).
In South America, Peru's Lima Airport (LIM) received about 10.6
million passengers and registered 9.8 percent growth (June 2018: up
7.5 percent to about 1.8 million passengers). On the Bulgarian Black
Sea coast, Burgas (BOJ) and Varna (VAR) airports together recorded
27.6 percent growth and almost 1.7 million passengers (June 2018: up
14.9 percent to 979,593 passengers). On the Turkish riviera, Antalya
