Business at a glance

Frankfurt is the core hub, while international concessions diversify traffic and cash generation. Construction accounting can inflate reported revenue, so adjusted revenue is useful alongside EBITDA.

Traffic growth is calculated from consecutive years in the traffic series above and may differ slightly from growth rates published using unrounded or adjusted figures. The first year has no preceding year in this table.

What the numbers say

Frankfurt traffic recovered steadily, while the international portfolio supported group earnings. Revenue excluding concession construction accounting rose again in 2025 even though reported revenue was nearly flat.

Free cash flow turned positive in 2025 after four years of substantial outflows. Net debt remained above its 2021 level, making investment funding a central part of the business story.

Historical sources and comparability

  • IFRIC 12 concession construction revenue is separated from airport operating revenue. Frankfurt passengers cannot be used as the denominator for group revenue per passenger.
  • Pandemic compensation influenced 2021 earnings. Free cash flow and net debt follow Fraport’s published definitions; they are not estimates of individual airport cash flow.
  • Annual history is separate from the latest interim or rolling-period snapshot. Operator definitions and reporting perimeters differ, so these profiles are not a like-for-like league table.

What drives the airport business

01

Separate Frankfurt traffic from the broader managed portfolio.

02

Watch ramp-up costs and returns on the Frankfurt and Lima terminal programmes.

03

Use revenue excluding IFRIC 12 when assessing operating growth.

Source and method

This profile uses the operator’s own published figures. Group metrics are not assigned to an individual airport. Passenger volume is an activity measure, not revenue; construction-accounting and adjusted-profit labels follow the source. Where a comparable financial measure is not publicly available, it is not estimated.
