Fraport AG released its third-quarter 2026 results, maintaining its full-year guidance despite challenges from the Iran conflict and rising kerosene prices. The company expects passenger numbers at Frankfurt Airport to remain stable at approximately 63.2 million, consistent with the previous year. CEO Stefan Schulte anticipates an increase in operating profit to as much as 1.5 billion euros for the year.
