The Frankfurt International Airport, one of the busiest in Europe, is undergoing significant modernization with an investment of 4 billion dollars, becoming one of the largest construction projects on the continent.
The expansion of the Frankfurt International Airport in Germany represents one of the largest construction projects in Europe, with an investment of 4 billion dollars. The modernization aims to accommodate the growing number of visitors and increase the airport’s capacity.
More than 800 companies are involved in the construction of the new terminal. The project faces unique challenges, such as the need for specialized divers to work underwater during construction. With the advancement of the works, the project has progressed significantly since its start in 2015.
Why Construction Is Necessary?
The roots of this expansion date back to the last century when the airport’s popularity required continuous enlargements. The capacity of the two existing terminals was 54 million annual passengers, but by the 1990s, it was clear that this would not be sufficient in the long term. Thus, the idea arose to expand the airport with a new, massive terminal.
