Our problem is that we are increasingly unable to keep up with the demand. The capacity constraints in Frankfurt are my main concern. They can only be elimi- nated by expanding the infrastructure. In other words, it is predictable that without expansion the chances from the growing air traffi c can not be used? As for the Frankfurt site, yes. But the bottleneck situation does not only affect us as the airport operator. It particularly affects our main customer Lufthansa, which is unable to grow at its home base. In a rapidly developing business like the aviation sector, standing still means going backwards. If we can not expand within the foreseeable future, Frankfurt will lose out as a central air traffi c hub. That is why we signed a letter of intent with Ticona last autumn aimed at ceasing the produc- tion operation of Ticona at the Kelsterbach site by June 30, 2011 and transferring the real estate at the Kelsterbach site to Fraport after all the plant facilities have been removed. Once the fi nal contracts have been signed, a key risk for the initial operation of the north-west runway will have been removed. Growth can therefore only be generated outside the home base, while Frankfurt has to be satisfi ed with stagnation? As far as increasing the number of passengers is concerned, Dr Bender, the business year 2006 surprises with further out- we can only increase the seat load factor in Frankfurt and standing fi gures, when you consider that growth in air traffi c continue to increase the proportion of wide-body aircraft. at your main site Frankfurt Airport is virtually stagnating.

There is only limited opportunity for this in a system that is fully booked up. We are not satisfi ed with the performance of the punctuality rate last year.
