Future Expansions
With the inauguration of the fourth runway in October 2011, the airport should be able to handle the predicted demand of about 700,000 aircraft movements in 2020. To handle the predicted passenger amount of 90 million in 2020, a third terminal is scheduled to be built south of the existing terminals beginning in 2013.
Terminal 3
Fraport plans to build a large new terminal south of the existing terminals at the ground of the former Rhein-Main Air Base. The new Terminal 3 should be able to house up to 25 million passengers and will feature 75 new aircraft positions. An extension of the people mover system SkyLine is planned to transport people to Terminal 1, the airport railway stations and Terminal 2.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“I imagine, on the benches of an assembly, the most intrepid of thinkers, a brilliant mind, one of those men who, when they ascend the tribune, feel it beneath them like the tripod of the oracle, suddenly grow in stature and become colossal, surpass by a head the massive appearances that mask reality, and see clearly the future over the high, frowning wall of the present.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
