Airlines and Destinations
From Frankfurt Airport, 107 airlines fly to 275 destinations in 111 countries, with approximately 1,365 flights each day. It is the primary hub and base of Lufthansa, the largest airline in Europe. It is also the headquarters of Star Alliance, the largest global airline alliance. Lufthansa and their Star Alliance partners account for 77% of all passengers at Frankfurt Airport. Condor Flugdienst also has its main base at Frankfurt Airport.
Due to capacity constraints until Autumn 2011 when the fourth runway went into operation, there are few low-cost carriers at Frankfurt Airport. Those airlines use Frankfurt-Hahn Airport as an alternative. Despite its name, Frankfurt-Hahn Airport lies about 120 km (75 mi) west of Frankfurt, closer to Koblenz and Mainz.
