Welcome to one of the largest and busiest airports in Europe. The shear volume of air traffic through Frankfurt Main International airport was one of the main reasons I wanted to stop in here. During 2011 the airport saw 487 162 traffic movements along its runway, a good 7000 more than London Heathrow making Frankfurt the 11th busiest airport for that year.
| Airport Scenary (EDDF) an FSX upgrade available from one of the PC Pilot freeware that came with the magazine circa 2012 (Frankfurt_Airport_v7 by Mark Alderidge). For Freeware it's great. But not the best for my trip around the world, with poor taxiway markings making it difficult to find the allocated gate. I'd still recommend this a freeware but would suggest payware if you are a bit more picky about the detail. | |
| AI Traffic Lufthansa, Lufthansa, Lufthansa everywhere . . .how big is their fleet? All the AI from World of AI. Did hear a "springbok" callsign on approach but did not see him about. | |
