Flying and More: A Growing Shoppers' Paradise Awaits Visitors at Frankfurt Airport
Fraport AG to Expand FRA's Retail Space to 20'000 Square Meters by 2007

Frankfurt, Germany (ots)

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is undergoing a
major redevelopment and expansion of shopping facilities that will
see total retail space at Terminals 1 and 2 grow from about 13'600 to
20'000 square meters by 2007. In the past few years, Terminal 1 has
already been significantly transformed with new shops and
restaurants, new retailing concepts, and additional space. This is
only the beginning of the growing shoppers' paradise that Fraport AG
is developing at FRA.
The goal of Fraport AG's Traffic and Retail (VTM) strategic
business division is to enhance the attractiveness of shopping and
gastronomy at Frankfurt Airport in order to increase retailing
revenues steadily. For many years, the growth curve for retailing
revenues has outpaced the growth in passenger traffic at FRA.
Passengers are and will continue to be the primary target group for
Frankfurt Airport Shopping. The majority of the new shops will be
located past the security check points in the so-called "airside"
areas of the terminals at Germany's largest airport.
Additional shopping malls are planned for both Terminals 1 and 2
-- to strengthen FRA's position as a "Marketplace of the 21st
Century". Frankfurt Airport's concept is to be exciting and relaxing
and to offer international brands along with regional specialities.
Currently, FRA offers some 130 shops -- including 16 Duty Free and
Travel Value shops -- and about 50 restaurants, bars and cafés.
The Retailing department of Fraport's Traffic and Retail (VTM)
division also oversees a number of service providers in the
terminals, including car rental agencies, currency exchanges and
banks, post offices, travel agencies, pharmacies, hair salons, and
Germany's only airport casino. The 30-member Retailing team has
experts in planning, architecture, center and leasing management, as
well as marketing.
