Fraport's supervisory board approved (12-Dec-2025) the company's business plan for FY2026, including the proposal to pay a dividend of EUR1 per share for FY2025. Dividends were not paid for six years due to the coronavirus pandemic and large scale investments. The decision was based on Fraport Group's operational performance, at Frankfurt Airport and across its worldwide subsidiaries, and is supported by a "sustainably positive outlook" for the coming years. The completion of major investments in large expansion projects, particularly in Lima and Frankfurt, and the inauguration of new passenger terminals at both locations will initially lead to a significant decrease in net income in 2026, but free cash flow is returning to positive territory.

IATA stated (12-Dec-2025) passenger and cargo traffic is expected to grow "despite supply constraints". Details include:

• RPK growth is expected to align more closely with GDP in FY2025/26 and grow 1.5 times the pace of GDP. IATA said capacity constraints are "behind much of the relative deceleration in air travel", noting delays in aircraft deliveries, maintenance backlogs, and labour shortages, have "limited airlines' ability to scale operations in response to growing demand";
• IATA expects passenger traffic to increase by 4.9% year-on-year in 2026;
• Global trade has been "surprisingly agile, despite the volatile trade policy environment". IATA noted while trade growth may slow in 2026, air cargo is "well positioned to remain robust, benefiting from AI-driven investment, growing demand for high value, time sensitive goods, and the structural shift toward ecommerce";
• Air cargo traffic is projected to grow by 2.6% in 2026, despite merchandise trade expected to show "close to no growth next year". [more - original PR]
