Frankfurt Leads in Summer 2025 Travel, Despite Disruptions

In 2025, Greece's islands, Turkey's coastal resorts, and cities like Tirana and Vilnius emerged as top travel destinations outside Germany. Meanwhile, Frankfurt am Main airport led in traffic, but faced disruptions alongside Cologne-Bonn and Frankfurt-Bandaranaike routes.

The summer of 2024 presented challenges for European aviation. Despite this, Frankfurt am Main airport saw 9.1 million passengers, making it the busiest. The Frankfurt to Shenzhen route impressively maintained a 100 percent punctuality rate.

Spain topped the list of popular destinations from Germany with 4.1 million passengers. Turkey followed with 3 million, while domestic flights in Germany had 3.9 million passengers. However, not all routes were smooth. Cologne-Bonn airport had a 53 percent disruption rate, and the Frankfurt-Bandaranaike route faced a 100 percent disruption rate. Passengers affected by flight problems could seek assistance from AirHelp to claim compensation.

As travel resumes, popular destinations and airports face both growth and challenges. While Frankfurt am Main leads in traffic, disruptions highlight the need for improved reliability. Passengers can find support in services like AirHelp for compensation claims.
