Frankfurt Airport caps movements to 88 per hour

Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide (Fraport) said in a new report that it intends to reduce the number of take-offs and landings at Frankfurt Airport to 88 movements per hour from next week. The move is the right step to stabilize flight operations, according to Lufthansa.

Jens Ritter, CEO of Lufthansa Airline, said: “In recent weeks, we have already cancelled flights in several waves to relieve the overall system. This has disappointed many thousand customers, caused enormous additional work for our employees and additional costs in the millions. Since the already increased capacities of the ground handling services in Frankfurt are still not sufficient due to a high sickness absence rate, even for the flight schedule that has already been reduced several times, the decision taken by Fraport is right.”

Other airlines flying to and from Frankfurt will now also contribute to an even reduction and stabilisation with flight cancellations.
