NOV 14, 2003 (newstodate): Frankfurt Airport's cargo growth at 1.8 percent in October sums up a complex underlying pattern.
The Middle East and Far East routes proved to be growth engines for Frankfurt.
Cargo volumes on routes to and from Central and South Africa as well as Eastern Europe also developed positively, while volumes on North American routes declined, primarily because of currency exchange rates.
A drop at 9.1 percent in mail volumes was due to a further reduction in services in the domestic overnight airmail network based at Frankfurt Airport.
