Fraport AG is a Germany-based airport management company best known for operating Frankfurt Airport, one of Europe’s busiest air transport hubs. The firm’s core business encompasses airport infrastructure planning, ground handling services, security screening, baggage handling and passenger processing. In addition to managing aeronautical operations, Fraport develops and commercializes retail, food & beverage and real estate offerings within its terminals, enhancing non-aeronautical revenue streams.
Since its formation as a stock corporation in 2001—though its roots trace back to the Frankfurt Airport Company—the group has expanded internationally through long-term concession and management contracts. Fraport holds stakes or full operating licenses at airports in Brazil, Greece, Peru and Turkey, among other locations, enabling it to apply its expertise across diverse regulatory and cultural environments. These global activities contribute to passenger services, cargo handling and airport-related infrastructure projects.
The company’s leadership team is headed by Chief Executive Officer Dr. Stefan Schulte, supported by a Board of Executive Directors overseeing finance, operations, marketing and international business development. Fraport employs over 20,000 people worldwide, with a centralized headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, coordinating regional and subsidiary operations to ensure compliance with international aviation standards.
Fraport’s service portfolio spans technical airport services, facility management, retail and hospitality concessions, IT solutions and real estate development. Through continuous investment in digitalization, sustainability initiatives and infrastructure modernization, the company aims to enhance passenger experience, improve operational efficiency and meet evolving environmental and safety regulations in the global aviation sector.
