Frankfurt Airport (FRA) has set a new September record, welcoming a total of 5.9 million passengers in September 2016. However, this positive result was helped by the fact that in the same month of the previous year, a strike had led to a noticeable reduction in passenger volumes. Without this base effect, passenger traffic would have remained almost level year-on-year. Cargo throughput (airfreight + airmail) at FRA was positively impacted by the slight recovery of the global economy, resulting in a gain of 5.9% in September 2016. Despite the rise in passenger and cargo volumes, aircraft movements shrank by 0.6% to 41,973 takeoffs and landings. Adjusted for the base effect (pilot strike in September 2015), aircraft movements saw an underlying decline of 2.3% in September 2016. Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) expanded by 1.8% to almost 2.7 million metric tons, thus also posting a new September record.
