Fraport expects Frankfurt Airport will need additional capacity – which will be available after the completion of the first T3 construction phase – by no later than 2021. In the aviation industry, business planning must take a long-term view. Current forecasts confirm that Frankfurt Airport will experience sustainable growth in the future.
In the first construction phase, Terminal 3 will feature a total of 24 terminal docking positions at the two piers. When fully completed, Terminal 3 will provide a total of 50 aircraft docking positions. Overall, planning for the passenger terminal focuses on highly efficient energy standards. The design of the building’s technical systems, for example, will completely eliminate the need for external heating.
