SEP 12, 2003 (newstodate) Frankfurt Airport has taken the daring move to submit documentation for the zoning procedure on the planned capacity expansion of Frankfurt Airport to the regional president.
This marks a further step towards the long-coveted construction of an additional landing runway northwest of the airport and of a third passenger terminal at the current U.S. Air Base on the southern side of the airport.
The new landing runway, designed to boost the aairport's current capacity of about 500,000 aircraft movements to about 660,000 per year, is expected to be completed by the end of 2006 and to enter operations in 2007.
