Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide
About Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide
Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide is a German stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) registered with the Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main commercial register under number HRB 7042. The company’s registered office is at Frankfurt Airport, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Its registry status is listed as active.
Fraport is the operator of Frankfurt Airport (FRA), one of Europe’s largest passenger and cargo hubs, and holds operating or investment interests in a portfolio of airports outside Germany. The company’s activities span airport operation and infrastructure development, aviation and ground handling services, retail and real-estate management at Frankfurt Airport, and security services.
The corporate lineage traces back to Südwestdeutsche Luftverkehrs AG, founded in 1924 to develop what became Frankfurt Airport. The company was renamed several times over the following decades, most recently to Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide as part of a rebranding completed in 2001. The exact registration date of the present legal entity under HRB 7042 could not be independently confirmed from a primary registry source during this review; the founding year of 1924 is well documented for the corporate predecessor, but should be treated as historical context rather than a verified incorporation date for the current entity.
Fraport AG shares are listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN DE0005773303, ticker FRA) and are included in Deutsche Börse’s MDAX index.
For the 2024 financial year, the Fraport Group reported consolidated revenue of approximately €4,427.0 million, an increase of roughly €426.5 million over 2023, and an average of 19,001 employees across the group (up from 17,840 in 2023), according to Fraport’s own 2024 annual report. These figures relate to the consolidated Fraport Group and should not be read as results of the standalone parent company.
Recent developments include a change at the top of the group’s supervisory body: at the Annual General Meeting on 12 May 2026, Prof. Dr. R. Alexander Lorz, Hesse’s Finance Minister, was elected Chairman of the Supervisory Board, succeeding Michael Boddenberg, who had chaired the board since May 2020. Separately, Dietmar Focke joined the Management Board as Chief Operating Officer effective 1 May 2026.

Shareholders of Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide
Fraport AG is a listed company whose disclosed shareholder base consists of major, threshold-crossing holders reported under Germany’s securities-law notification regime (WpHG) rather than a complete register of all shareholders. As of 31 December 2024, according to Fraport’s own annual report and investor relations disclosures, the State of Hesse (Land Hessen) was the largest shareholder with 31.31% of the share capital, held directly. The City of Frankfurt am Main held a further 20.92%, held indirectly through its wholly owned holding company, Stadtwerke Frankfurt am Main Holding GmbH. Together, these two German public-sector shareholders held a combined 52.23% as of that date. Deutsche Lufthansa AG held 8.44%, confirming that Lufthansa remains a shareholder of Fraport, though at a level well below its historic holding. Additional institutional investors have separately crossed the 3%-5% notification thresholds in recent filings; the remaining shares are widely held in free float. Because German disclosure rules require public notification only when defined percentage thresholds are crossed, smaller holdings below these thresholds are not individually disclosed.
Data quality note: this profile’s stored shareholder records list several US/international index and mutual funds (e.g. Vanguard, iShares, DWS and Dimensional funds) with percentages in the 3%-9% range. These figures could not be reconciled with Fraport’s own disclosed shareholder structure and are treated as unreliable for this profile; a known issue with this data source is that percentages are calculated relative to a sample of tracked holders rather than total share capital. They are not used as the basis for this shareholder overview.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Fraport AG does not have a single identifiable natural-person ultimate beneficial owner. Control is held collectively by German public-sector bodies: the State of Hesse and the City of Frankfurt am Main together held a majority interest of 52.23% as of 31 December 2024, exercised directly (Hesse) and indirectly through a municipal holding company (Frankfurt, via Stadtwerke Frankfurt am Main Holding GmbH). Deutsche Lufthansa AG holds a further minority interest of 8.44%. Under German transparency-register practice, a controlling interest held by public-law bodies is generally recorded as institutional/state control rather than attributed to an individual, and no natural person meeting a beneficial-ownership threshold has been identified in the sources reviewed.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for Fraport AG is best described as major shareholders only: holdings above the statutory WpHG notification thresholds are publicly reported, but the complete shareholder register, including all smaller holders, is not public. The figures above are as of 31 December 2024, the most recent shareholder-structure disclosure identified for this review.

Data availability
Germany’s commercial register (Handelsregister) publishes registered Management Board members and holders of signing authority (Prokura), but does not routinely publish full Supervisory Board composition, appointment history, or individual biographical detail; this content instead relies on Fraport AG’s own governance disclosures. Nationality and personal identifying information are not published by either source and are reported as not disclosed. Data quality note: this profile’s underlying officer dataset (67 records) contains significant inconsistencies: the majority of entries carry a generic “Officer” job title without specifying an actual role, and several entries (including “Lufthansa Security Trust,” “British Columbia Investment Management Corporation” and a “Malta Pension Inves[tments]” entry) are institutional or trust vehicles miscategorised as individual “Partner”-type officers rather than corporate shareholders. This dataset was not used as the basis for the current-officer information above, which instead reflects Fraport AG’s own published Management Board and Supervisory Board pages.

Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for Fraport AG is best described as partial: subsidiary names, jurisdictions and registration numbers are available from the profile’s own linkage dataset, but ownership and voting percentages are not disclosed for any entity, and the data was not independently re-verified against each subsidiary’s local registry for this review. No parent company above Fraport AG was identified; the absence of such a parent is consistent with, but not proof of, Fraport AG being independently held at the top of its group.
