Cargo\nthroughput (airfreight plus airmail) dropped by 2.7 percent to 2.1 million\nmetric tons and aircraft movements declined by 1.4 percent to almost 486,000\ntakeoffs and landings. Only accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) rose\nby 0.5 percent to 28.4 million metric tons.\n\n\n\n Group-wide traffic grew in 2008 to 78.2 million passengers, mainly due to\nPeru's Lima Airport (LIM) achieving 10.4 percent growth (to 8.3 million\npassengers) and Turkey's Antalya Airport (AYT) reporting an 8.5 percent jump\n(to about 9 million passengers) - here Fraport is meanwhile also managing the\ndomestic terminal.\n\n\n\n During the reporting month of December 2008, FRA was particularly\naffected by the weakening global economy. With almost 3.8 million passengers,\nFRA welcomed 5.3 percent fewer passengers year-on-year. Airfreight dropped by\n25 percent to about 142,500 metric tons and aircraft movements declined by\n5.2 percent to 36,255 takeoffs and landings.
