2 Rate of change based on unrounded numbers
The terror attacks in the U.S.A. affected Frankfurt Airport's
(FRA) traffic results for the month of September. Passenger traffic
registered a 7.2 percent decline compared to the same month last
year.  FRA last experienced a comparable collapse in traffic during
the Gulf War. Up to the time of the attacks on September 11, demand
increased. Afterwards, a noticeable change in passenger volumes
occurred.  Following the reopening of American air space and the
subsequent clearing of the traffic backlog, traffic normalized to a
large extent.  After September 20, Frankfurt Airport again
experienced a double-digit drop in traffic.
Airfreight development showed a clear decline on all routes.
The number of aircraft movements dropped only slightly, but
capacity utilization deteriorated noticeably.  The number of
passengers per passenger flight declined to 123 in September, down
from 132 in the corresponding month last year.  Frankfurt Airport's
punctuality rate could be increased again.
Fraport AG cannot yet offer any forecast figures regarding the
further development of air traffic to the end of the year and
corporate results for 2001.
