- More Than 5.1 Million Passengers and 170,000 Metric Tons of Airfreight 
at FRA

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) welcomed 5,114,187 passengers during the vacation
month of August 2007. This is only the second time that the airport recorded
more than 5.1 million passengers in a single month. With 1.7 percent
year-on-year growth, Fraport AG's home base achieved its busiest-ever August
for passenger traffic. The previous best August result was in 2005, when
5,051,825 passengers used Frankfurt Airport.

Up 2.8 percent compared to the same month last year, intercontinental
traffic continued to drive FRA's passenger growth. In particular, the rising
United Arab Emirates market continued to grow at a high level (up 11.5
percent). Demand for Caribbean destinations also accelerated by 5.6 percent.

Within Europe, business travel-intensive routes to West European
destinations developed dynamically, up 4.4 percent. Domestic traffic also
climbed noticeably by 2.6 percent.

FRA reached a new historic high for airfreight throughput in August 2007:
173,870 metric tons represented a jump of 4.6 percent. This topped the
previous August record of 2006 by 7,567 metric tons. Airmail tonnage also
increased by two percent to 7,618 metric tons.

The number of aircraft movements at FRA rose by 0.7 percent to 43,096
takeoffs and landings. Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) hit
2,489,969 metric tons, up 0.6 percent compared to the same period last year.

Group's Frankfurt-Hahn Airport topped its July 2007 passenger record again.
Some 414,028 passengers in August 2007 represented year-on-year growth of 8.9

historic high - with 999,786 passengers (up 5.2 percent) - and came just
