Frankfurt Airport pax declines 'accelerating' into Mar-2020 due to coronavirus

Fraport reported (12-Mar-2020) passenger traffic at Frankfurt Airport declined 14.5% year-on-year from 24-Feb-2020 to 01-Mar-2020 due to the spread of the coronavirus. The operator added this trend is "accelerating" into Mar-2020. Fraport noted passenger traffic in Germany was hit "particularly hard" by weaker demand, with intercontinental traffic declining 2.3% due to a "massive reduction" in capacity to/from China and other Asian destinations.
