Frankfurt International Airport

Frankfurt International Airport is located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and is the largest airport in Germany and the second-largest in Europe. The IATA Airport Code is FRA.

Frankfurt International is a hub of Lufthansa, the German flag carrier.

Frankfurt International is an oversaturated airport, so Lufthansa tends to divide the traffic between Frankfurt and Munich's Franz Josef Strauß International Airport when possible.

Frankfurt International currently serves more destinations than London's Heathrow International Airport, but Frankfurt International is still in second place compared to Heathrow International in terms of traffic and arrivals and departures.

Paris' Charles de Gaulle International Airport may take Frankfurt International's 2nd Place spot, since that airport is rapidly growing.

In 1969, Ariana Flight 701, a Boeing 727 of Ariana Afghan Airlines was arriving to London Gatwick Airport near London, United Kingdom from Frankfurt International when it crashed into a house, killing 50 of the 66 persons aboard. Two people died on the ground.
