Frankfurt/Germany (PROTEXT) - To enhance the already highsecurity standards in place at Frankfurt Airport (FRA), FraportAG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide - the owner and managerof FRA - maintains close relations with the responsiblegovernment agencies and security experts of airlines and otherorganizations. In particular, Fraport AG cooperates with theGerman Federal Border Police (Bundesgrenzschutz), HessianMinistry of Economic Affairs and Transport, Hessian Ministry ofthe Interior, as well as various police authorities on acontinuous basis to carry out refinements or to implement newsafety and security precautions. This cooperation not onlyinvolves checking passengers, baggage and cargo but also includessecurity "background checks" of personnel working at the airport.Furthermore, appropriate measures are in force across the entireairport site to prevent security-related infringements and otherillegal activities. All companies and organizations involved in the air transportindustry at FRA place the highest priority on security. Ofcourse, these organizations are unanimous in their view thatexisting and new security measures should not be publicized - otherwise, criminals forces coulduse this information to undermine security efforts. As in thepast, filming (still or video) is not at the various controlpoints in the airport terminals. Therefore, Fraport AG asks mediarepresentatives, in particular, to respect the importance andnecessity of these restrictions. Fraport AG still advises all passengers as well as meeters andgreeters - before they travel to the airport -to contact theirairline or travel agency about the status of their flight. Inaddition, passengers are requested to arrive in plenty of timefor their flight departure, allowing for possible delays at thecheck-in counters and at the control points.
