Airport operator Fraport is strategically aligning its Frankfurt hub with forecast growth in the air cargo business. Driven by growing global trade, the air cargo industry is expected to further expand over the medium and long term both globally and within Europe. The Frankfurt CargoHub is projected to follow this overall market trend, with airfreight volumes in Frankfurt forecast to exceed three million metric tons by 2040. This represents an increase of around 50 percent on the previous peak reached in 2021. At the same time, the entire logistics sector faces major challenges, particularly in relation to altered goods flows, digitization, and sustainability.
