10 million passengers per year
The German hub will benefit from an investment of some €1.5 billion. The total renovation of Terminal 2 will span several years. More than three years will be needed to draw up the construction plans. Then the major works will begin, probably around 2030. T2 is expected to be operational again by the middle of the next decade. It will then have a capacity of over 10 million passengers per year.
" The temporary closure of the terminal will allow us to methodically modernise our airport's infrastructure, while improving its performance and making it both more sustainable and more comfortable. » , témoigne Pierre Dominique Prümm, directeur technique de Fraport AG. « Once modernised, Terminal 2 will become a central element of our future hub system, with cutting-edge processes, greater flexibility, and a significantly improved travel experience for our passengers.
