Fraport expects 3m Ryanair passengers in 2018
The operator of Frankfurt airport is expecting rapid growth from new customer Ryanair over the next couple of years, helping it to return to growth in passenger numbers this year. A Fraport officer said Tuesday that Ryanair was planning to base 12 aircraft at Frankfurt from 2018, up from an initial 2 this summer and then 7 planes from this September. The Irish airline could therefore serve around 3m passengers from Frankfurt next year after an expected 1m this year. He said with growth from Ryanair and other low cost carriers, it will therefore likely hit capacity at its current two terminals in 2019 and so it is planning to construct a simple one-floor pier to be used by low cost carriers. <br/>
