In this interview filmed at PTE World 2026 in London, PT World catches up with Sascha König, senior VP of aviation passenger process, and Esther Nitsche, VP of operational excellence, from Fraport, which runs Frankfurt Airport. The airport’s T3 opens at the end of April. Technical commissioning is complete and the terminal is currently undergoing trial operations.
“The design is unique, I would say,” comments Nitsche. “It’s a very modern and beautiful terminal, and there’s state-of-the-art technology in all areas.”
König adds, “It’s a brand-new design, and there is much more space available for passengers and airline operations. From the passenger experience side, there are two important points: we tried to have a typical German design theme, and we have included a lot of technology – for example, it’s biometric-ready and we have self-bag-drop machines so passengers can have seamless and easy travel.”
In the video, the pair also reveal why the new terminal was built and share details of the trial process. Watch to find out more.
