Company profile
Run a hub, build capacity and export airport know-how
Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide is the listed parent of the Fraport Group. It owns and manages Frankfurt Airport and holds FRA's operating permit, while group companies add ground handling, commercial property and other specialist services. Abroad, Fraport works through concession companies, controlled holdings, minority interests and consulting mandates, so its role is not identical at every airport. The examples below distinguish the airport operator from airlines, public authorities, tenants, local companies and project partners.
Frankfurt Airport
Coordinate aircraft, passengers and safety across one shared system
Fraport AG owns and manages Frankfurt Airport and holds its operating permit without a time limit. Its terminal and airside teams manage passenger flows, infrastructure and operating resources in close coordination with airlines and partners. The wholly owned Fraport Ground Services GmbH handles aircraft, baggage and freight and performs related technical services. Fraport runs the airport platform and many operating services, but airlines operate flights and public authorities retain their own statutory roles.

Business model
Earn from infrastructure, handling, commercial space and airport property
Fraport's four reporting segments turn one airport system into distinct businesses. Aviation manages terminal facilities and passenger processes; Ground Handling covers loading, baggage and passenger services; Retail & Real Estate develops and rents space, parking and advertising; International Activities & Services takes expertise abroad and contains central services. At the Frankfurt CargoHub, Fraport calls itself an enabler for a 250-company cargo community rather than the sole handler. Its allivate joint venture with DAKOSY develops the Cargo Community System and operational dashboard.

International portfolio
Use different concession vehicles for different jobs abroad
Fraport describes a footprint of 29 airports and airport-related companies on four continents, including 28 airports outside Frankfurt after the Delhi divestiture. The roles differ: wholly owned Brazilian subsidiaries manage and operate Fortaleza and Porto Alegre; controlled companies run concession networks in Greece and Bulgaria; the Antalya interest manages terminals; Fraport USA manages retail centres; and the Hong Kong minority interest operates a logistics centre. Stake percentages refer to local companies, not ownership of airport land.

Strategy and infrastructure
Add terminal capacity, digitalise the journey and narrow the climate claim
Fraport.2030 makes the passenger journey the overarching task and sets three priorities: growth and sustainability, efficiency and innovation, and becoming an employer of choice. Frankfurt's Terminal 3 began regular operations on 23 April 2026 with capacity for up to 19 million passengers, 64 stores and restaurants and 57 relocating airlines. Fraport Ausbau Süd GmbH, a wholly owned Fraport subsidiary, managed the approximately EUR 4 billion construction project. Fraport's 2045 Net Zero target covers Scopes 1 and 2 at fully consolidated Group sites, not airline or passenger-travel emissions.
