Fraport 'optimistic' that travel restrictions will begin to ease from spring 2021

18 January, 2021

Fraport chairman Dr Stefan Schulte said (18-Jan-2021) the company is "optimistic" that travel restrictions can start to be lifted gradually from spring 2021 due to the rollout of COVID-19 vaccination programmes across Europe. He noted he expects Frankfurt Airport passenger traffic to "rebound noticeably" in 1H2021 but admitted that a "difficult year lies ahead of us". Dr Schulte concluded: "While we are confident passenger traffic will exceed last year's level, we still expect Frankfurt to reach only 35% to 45% of the 2019 level". [more - original PR]
