….an international hub

Frankfurt’s infrastructure is not only impressive regarding inner city traffic, the city is even internationally well connected- Frankfurt International Airport is this link with the world. The airport won the title “World’s Most Improved Airport”, awarded by a well-known market research institute. 58 million passengers travel through this airport each year. Frankfurt Airport employs approximately 78,000 persons, making it the biggest employer in Germany. On the 4 runways, over 480,000 planes started and landed in 2012. Frankfurt Airport is an important aviation hub, many passengers change flights here.

With its advanced technical equipment, the airport can coordinate all feeder flights, for example, the passengers of an Airbus A380 arrive at Frankfurt Airport via 60 to 80 feeder flights. There are 188 parking positions for large planes. In 2012, over 2 million tons of cargo passed through Frankfurt Airport. Passengers are transported by 107 airline companies which fly to 295 destinations, in the cargo sector, 27 airlines fly to 78 destinations. The owner of the airport, Fraport, develops the airport like a proper city district with shops, entertainment and extensive services. Customers can shop and dine in 60 shops and restaurants. Visitors, families and groups are invited to book a tour of the airport which lasts 45 minutes. Fraport states that its strategy is environmentally sustainable and that it works to check and improve air pollution and noise prevention.

The latter is very important to the local residents living on one of the approach corridors of Frankfurt Airport. A quiet location is also important for anybody renting furnished accommodation in Frankfurt and the apartment should be chosen carefully. The district of Griesheim is situated close to the airport and but it is not on one of the approach corridors. As a result, renting an apartment in this district of Frankfurt is a good choice. Renting a furnished apartment for a certain amount of time is perfect for anybody who wishes to spend some time in Frankfurt- a city which offers trade fairs, a university, many interesting sights and which is also an important hub.
