Expanding capacity at Frankfurt Airport requires construction of a new landing runway, a third passenger terminal (Terminal 3), and a new maintenance hangar for the new A380 long-haul widebody aircraft.

Fraport AG has earmarked a total of approximately €4 billion for the airport expansion program. This currently makes it the most significant privately financed investment project in Germany, which will have positive effects on the construction industry and medium and small-sized businesses, especially in the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main region.
