Airport Data
About Frankfurt am Main Passport Control
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany's largest airport and Europe's third-busiest hub, handling over 60 million passengers annually. EES applies to all third-country national arrivals in Terminal 1 (halls A through E) and Terminal 2. Germany invested heavily in EES kiosk infrastructure well before system launch; average wait times at FRA are typically lower than at southern European peers. The clear signage and efficient kiosk layout make Frankfurt one of the smoother EES processing airports.
Busiest periods: July–August, December, and during major Frankfurt trade fairs (Messe Frankfurt).
