FRA figures down 17pc due to ash

The volcanic ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier caused a five-day break in flight operations at Frankfurt Airport (FRA). It then took another three days for FRA's flight schedule to get back to normal and overall, the ash caused a 17 per cent drop in passenger traffic year-on-year, pulling the monthly passenger totals down to 3.5 million.
