Fraport Group announce that some 5.6 million passengers travelled via Frankfurt Airport (FRA) in May 2025, representing an increase of 1.8 percent compared to the same month last year. Aircraft movements climbed by 5.7 percent to 42,255 takeoffs and landings, while accumulated maximum takeoff weights (or MTOWs) rose by 4.4 percent, reaching around 2.6 million metric tons in May.

Fraport Group airports worldwide also recorded rising passenger numbers for May 2025. At Ljubljana Airport (LJU), traffic surged by 13.5 percent compared to May last year, with 151,849 passengers using the Slovenian gateway. In Brazil, the two airports of Fortaleza (FOR) and Porto Alegre (POA) welcomed 1.1 million passengers in May, a year-on-year increase of 132.3 percent. The significant increase was primarily due to the non-recurring effect from POA’s closure last year following severe flooding.

Traffic at the 14 Greek regional airports edged up by 1.0 percent to a total of 3.7 million passengers.
