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:
“The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon. No temporizing policy or all is lost.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
