Fraport traffic figures 2020: Passenger volume as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic at a historically low level

by

18.01.2021

Frankfurt (ots) – Significant declines in Frankfurt and at all international Group airports / cargo volumes only slightly declining in comparison

In 2020 Frankfurt Airport counted around 18.8 million passengers, a decrease of 73.4 percent compared to the previous year. With the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, passenger numbers fell massively from mid-March. Air traffic largely came to a standstill between April and June – with declines of up to 98 percent on a weekly basis compared to the same period last year. After a slight recovery in the third quarter, rising infection numbers and the associated travel restrictions caused another and sustained slump in passenger numbers from September onwards.

Dr. Stefan Schulte, CEO of Fraport AG: “The past year presented the entire aviation industry with extreme challenges. The number of passengers in Frankfurt was at the level last seen in 1984. One ray of hope was the volume of freight: Despite the lack of additional loading capacity on passenger planes, we almost reached the previous year’s level. During the first lockdown in particular, air traffic was of great importance to ensure that the population was supplied with important medical goods. ”

The number of flight movements fell by 58.7 percent in 2020 to 212,235 take-offs and landings. The total of the maximum take-off weights fell by 53.3 percent to around 14.9 million tons. The cargo volume reached just under 2.0 million tons and was therefore only slightly lower in comparison (minus 8.3 percent).

In December, the number of passengers fell by 81.7 percent to 891,925 passengers. With 13,627 take-offs and landings, flight movements were down by 62.8 percent. The total of the maximum take-off weights recorded a decrease of 53.6 percent to around 1.1 million tons. The cargo volume increased by 9.0 percent to 185,687 tons in December, which is the third month in a row.

Looking forward, Dr. Schulte: “Due to the current vaccination programs, we are optimistic that the travel restrictions will gradually be reduced from spring onwards. We expect passenger traffic to pick up significantly in the second half of the year. Overall, however, we have another difficult year ahead of us. We expect that we will exceed the passenger volume of 2020 in Frankfurt, but will still only be around 35 to 45 percent of the previous high of 2019. ”

Partly massive declines also in the international portfolio

Passenger numbers also fell significantly at all airports in the international portfolio for 2020 as a whole. The individual locations were affected to varying degrees by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic over the months. At times, regular passenger traffic at individual airports (Ljubljana, Antalya and Lima) was discontinued, and in some cases extensive travel restrictions have been in effect almost everywhere since spring.

The number of passengers in Ljubljana, Slovenia fell by 83.3 percent to 288,235 passengers (minus 93.7 percent in December). The Brazilian airports in Fortaleza and Porto Alegre recorded a decrease of 56.7 percent to around 6.7 million passengers (minus 46.2 percent in December). The number of passengers at Lima Airport in Peru fell by 70.3 percent to around 7.0 million passengers (minus 61.6 percent in December).

The 14 Greek regional airports booked around 8.6 million passengers, a decrease of 71.4 percent (minus 85.3 percent in December). At the Bulgarian twin star airports Burgas and Varna, the number of passengers fell by 78.9 percent to around 1.0 million passengers (minus 69.7 percent in December).

The number of passengers at Antalya Airport in Turkey fell by 72.6 percent to around 9.7 million passengers (minus 69.8 percent in December). The airport in St. Petersburg, Russia, recorded a drop of 44.1 percent to around 10.9 million passengers (minus 38.5 percent in December). At Xi’an Airport in China, there was a slight recovery over the course of the year compared to the sharp decline in spring. The number of passengers here was around 31.0 million, a decrease of 34.2 percent (minus 14.8 percent in December).

Angela Merkel’s party elected a chairman

by

The congress of the main party of the ruling coalition in Germany – the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) – elected on January 16 the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia Armin Laschet as its chairman. The 59-year-old politician won the second round, receiving 521 votes out of 991 of the delegates to the congress. 466 party members voted for his rival, CDU functionary Friedrich Merz.

In the first round, Merz, considered the likely successor of Chancellor Angela Merkel, overtook Laschette with 385 votes against 380. Norbert Röttgen, chairman of the foreign policy committee of the Bundestag, won another 224 votes. With such a result, the way to the second round was ordered to him, however, as Deutsche Welle writes, it was Röttgen’s supporters who eventually brought Laschet victory. Röttgen got a seat on the CDU presidium.

According to Deutsche Welle, Laschet was paired with the young Minister of Health Jens Spahn. In alliance with the popular Spahn Laschet, the fact that the Minister of Health is quite conservative plays into the hands. As deputy chairman of the CDU, he will attract conservative party members who would be dissatisfied with Lashet’s liberal-centrist course. According to the German edition, Merkel campaigned for Lashet’s candidacy from the sidelines. Laschet was supported by the head of Merkel’s office, Helge Braun, who spoke out in favor of someone with experience in government. Laschet turned out to be such a person, although he headed the executive branch of only one federal state, even the most densely populated one. The minister at the federal level from 2009 to 2012 was Laschet Röttgen’s opponent, but his work experience can hardly be considered successful – Chancellor Merkel removed Röttgen from the post of Minister of the Environment.

“The year 2020 will be marked with a black stone” comments Dimsa, a resident of Zabreb. A first earthquake in March, the most violent since the “great quake” of 1880, a health crisis and a new earthquake: the year has not been easy in Croatia.

The authorities have declared a day of national mourning, Saturday, January 2, in tribute to the seven victims and the wounded of the magnitude 6.4 earthquake which razed houses, gutted buildings and buried cars under mountains of rubble, Tuesday, December 29, in the center of the country.

The earthquakes hit Banovina, at the heart of a triangle comprising the heavily affected towns of Petrinja, Glina and Sisak. Hundreds of buildings, houses, administrative buildings and schools were damaged. Entire districts of Petrinja and Sisak remain without power.

A few hours before New Year’s Eve, several hundred people could not return home, spending the night in barracks, schools or with relatives. For fear of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus, some prefer to sleep in their cars.

Wave of solidarity

The earthquake, with new tremors of magnitude 4.8 and 4.7, still recorded on Wednesday, December 30, triggered a wave of solidarity across the country. Red Cross volunteers distributed food, clothing, blankets and hygiene products to residents. Hundreds of Croats have offered their holiday homes in the region or on the Adriatic coast. Former Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has made his hotel on the island of Pag available to the homeless.

President Zoran Milanovic and Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic visited the disaster area. Slovenian Janez Lenarcic, European Commissioner for Crisis Management, visited the site. Brussels must send aid, in the form of tents, beds and electric heaters.

Pope Francis’ message

Pope Francis sent a message of sympathy to the overwhelmingly Catholic population. “I pray in particular for those who lost their lives” said the pontiff. “I hope that the country’s authorities, with the help of the international community, will soon be able to alleviate the suffering of the dear Croatian people”.

After the magnitude 5.3 earthquake of March 22 which caused significant damage in Zagreb, a “restoration fund” was created at the end of October 2020, associating the Croatian State, the municipality of the capital and its region, with the support of the World Bank. The mayor of Pretinja demanded the inclusion of the disaster area in his perimeter of action, without waiting for the vote of a new law by the parliament

A region traumatized by conflict

South-east of Zagreb, Banovina, one of Croatia’s poorest regions, was the scene of deadly clashes between Serbian and Croatian forces, accompanied by numerous population displacements, during the war for independence between 1991 and 1995 .

by

Gijón Basket, which passed a new serological test yesterday afternoon in which all the players tested negative, receives Porriño at the Palacio de los Deportes (17 hours) in a match corresponding to the second day of the league in the group ” AC ”of the EBA League and that was postponed at the time due to positives in the Galician team.

The Gijón squad had to stop for more than a week after the positive detected in their ranks and will face the match without the Campoamor contest, in the last phase of recovery from his injury, and without the pivot Oyelowo who could not play since it was registered at the time the match should have been played.

Fran Sánchez will have only 8 players for a game that will measure the two teams that have played the fewest games so far, four from Gijón and three from Galicia, when they have played eight games, so the current classification is totally unreal.

The Gijón coach warns of the potential of the rival so he expects the support of the fans, 300 maximum.

Doctor Myasnikov told when to call an ambulance for coronavirus and how long to stay at home after being ill

by

Doctor Myasnikov urges not to rush to the hospital without indications for hospitalization

Photo: Yulia PYKHALOVA

As of January 8, 2021, 23,525 new cases of coronavirus infection were detected in Russia. Doctor Alexander Myasnikov spoke about the basic rules of behavior if you have a covid.

When should an ambulance be called?

1. If shortness of breath occurs even with little exercise or at rest.

Usually, with covid, shortness of breath may appear between the 4th and 8th days. If it is moderate, does not interfere with the conversation and allows you to climb, for example, 2 flights of stairs, then in young people without chronic diseases this is unlikely to indicate a problem. If shortness of breath appears on the 2nd – 3rd day from the first onset of symptoms (fever, cough), restricts physical activity or occurs at rest, this is always serious, ”Dr. Myasnikov writes on his website.

2. Symptoms of dehydration: dizziness, dry mouth, palpitations, harsh urination.

3. Constantly high temperature above 38.

4. Lethargy, drowsiness, apathy, confusion of thoughts.

5. Blood oxygen saturation is below 94%.

It makes sense to have a pulse oximeter at home along with a thermometer.

“A simple and cheap device, put on a finger and shows the numbers of blood oxygen saturation. Indicators 94% and below are the basis for hospitalization, “- says Alexander Myasnikov.

When can you stay at home?

1. Temperature up to 38 degrees.

The normal human body temperature is not at all 36.6, but 37.5. This is if measurements are taken under the arm.

2. Body aches, muscle pain, headache, sore throat.

3. Cough without shortness of breath.

! Important. Dr. Myasnikov urges not to rush to the hospital without indications for hospitalization, since any hospital treatment implies getting into the aggressive environment of an infectious diseases hospital with risks of nosocomial infection not only with the virus, but also with many bacteria.

“There is no cure for the coronavirus. They are not in hospitals either, ”recalled Dr. Myasnikov. – Therefore, people with a severe course of the disease go there. We cannot cure the virus, but we can manage complications: give oxygen, treat systemic thrombosis, prevent a “cytokine storm” (a condition in which the immune system attacks a person himself, – editor’s note), treat bacterial complications, connect artificial kidney or ventilation breathing “.

The doctor suggests treating a mild course of the disease in “grandmother’s ways”:

– bed rest,

– plentiful drink,

– fruits, broths,

– fresh air (room ventilation),

– antipyretics (paracetamol) as needed,

– patience and a positive attitude.

How long to stay at home?

A recovered patient may end the isolation if:

1. It took 10 days from the onset of symptoms, plus 3 more days when no symptoms were observed at all.

EXAMPLES: A. symptoms lasted 3 days. So after 10 + 3 = 13 days from the onset of symptoms. B. Symptoms lasted 14 days. So 14 + 3 = 17 days after the onset of symptoms.

2. An asymptomatic patient with a positive test for coronavirus may end the isolation just 10 days after the test.
