Fraport’s air cargo volumes rise 3.7% in July 2025

Frankfurt Airport handled 179,055 metric tonnes of cargo in July 2025, marking a 3.7 percent year-on-year increase, according to Fraport’s latest traffic figures. The rise in freight volumes came alongside 42,657 takeoffs and landings, up 5.3% from last year, with total maximum takeoff weights reaching about 2.6 million metric tonnes, a 2.3% increase.

The growth in air cargo at Frankfurt reflects sustained demand on both intercontinental and regional routes. While European leisure destinations such as Greece, Italy and Spain drew strong passenger traffic, intercontinental routes to Thailand and East Africa also saw significant demand, contributing to overall aircraft movements and cargo capacity.

Across its global network, Fraport’s airports handled around 22.9 million passengers in July, up 4.6% year-on-year. The company reported notable growth in Slovenia’s Ljubljana Airport, Peru’s Lima Airport and its two Brazilian airports, Fortaleza and Porto Alegre, with the latter rebounding strongly after last year’s flood-related closure.
