Frankfurt Airport's (FRA) traffic results continued to develop positively in August 2009. Germany's largest airport registered about 4.9 million passengers, down only 0.4 percent year-on-year. Fraport executive board chairman Dr. Stefan Schulte is optimistic that the decline has bottomed out. Commenting on the actual traffic figures Schulte said: "From month to month the traffic decline is lessening. In the passenger segment, we have almost reached the previous year's level during August 2009 - especially because of the base-year effect from the weakening economy in the second half of 2008. With improving positive development, we have a good chance of ending the year with a passenger decline of only five to six percent.
