In the wake of September 11, Germany
established flight safety rules similar to
the ones in effect in the U.S., including
the ban on knives, scissors and the likein hand baggage. Security at Frankfurt
and Munich is especially tight on
transatlantic flights, on flights to Israel
and on flights by British and Americanairlines no matter where they are
headed.
It's important that passengers,
especially ones on these flights, get tothe airport well before takeoff. Some
officials urge as much as three hours
for international flights.

HISTORY
The Rhein-Main Airport and Airship Base opened in 1936
and was the second-largest airport in Germany (after
Tempelh of Airport in Berlin) through World War II.
Plans for a new airport in the south of Frankfurt existed
since before 1930, but they were not realized due to theGreat Depression. After 1933 the plans were revived by
the Nazi regime and they started the construction of the
airport. Initially the airport was the main base for the
airships LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin and LZ 129 Hindenburg, but
the regular flights were discontinued after the Hindenburg
disaster in 1937.

After World War II, it served as the main West German
operations base for the United States Air Force's contribution to
the Berlin Airlift. Since the main runway deteriorated due to theheavy use, a second runway was constructed during this time.
The German Lufthansa finally recommenced their flights from
Frankfurt in 1955.

EXPANSION
Frankfurt Airport, whoseTerminal 1 welcomed its
billionth passenger in July
2007, has embarked on a
massive 3.4 billion
expansion plan, which will be
in progress for the coming
two decades and more. New
developments will include
construction of a thirdterminal, eventual addition
of a third runway, and a
maintenance facility for the
A380 Airbus.

A new runway, located just to the
Northwest in the Kelsterbach Forest, is
currently under construction and should
open in 2011. The runway will measure
2,800 meters (9,240 feet) and be primarily
used for landings. The center line
separation from the existing North runway
will be approx. 1,400 meters (4,620 feet).This will allow for simultaneous instrument
landing system landing operations on these
two runways, which has not been possible
on the existing parallel runways because
they do not meet the 3,500 foot
requirement of ILS operations. This will
enable FRA to raise the capacity of the
airport from the current 83 aircraft
movements to 126 movements per hour.
