Commercial Activities and Licenses

Contracts with Fraport: How you can pursue a commercial activity on our premises or obtain licenses.

There are many opportunities to engage in commercial activities at Frankfurt Airport. A valid contractual arrangement concluded with Fraport AG is an essential requirement for taking up a permanent commercial activity.

A distinction must be made between the following contractual arrangements:

  • You would like to rent a counter in the airport terminals and use it to sell tourist services.
  • You work on behalf of Fraport AG or an authority.

If you are operating in the area of ground handling, i.e. if your services are directly involved in flight operations, you will also have to conclude an agreement in accordance with BADV, the German Ordinance on Ground Handling Services. To conclude this agreement, please request a questionnaire by email from  gestattungen@fraport.de  or by calling +49 - 69 690 - 70777 or 69 690-21494.

Please provide the following documents for the application procedure:

You will receive more detailed information together with the questionnaire.

After conclusion of the licensing agreement, you may also have to apply for Airport ID Cards and Vehicle ID Cards, depending on the type of your activity. Companies not registered yet will also have to provide the  Company Data Sheet.
For further information and documents please consult the section  SCF- ID Card Services.

To improve access at the airport, Fraport has set up bus lines for its own employees and those of companies based there. These bus lines connect central landside points. The companies whose employees ride on the staff buses are charged a use-based fee to cover operating costs.

To this end, the number of passengers and their respective employers are tracked on the staff buses. The costs are charged on this basis. All companies whose employees
use the buses receive an invoice for their share of the total costs on the basis of recorded use.

Only employees whose employers pay their share of the infrastructure costs for the staff bus lines are entitled to use the buses of the FRABUS staff bus lines. There is no need to register to use the service. Use of the staff bus lines and
the respective eligibility requirements are regulated by Fraport’s Conditions of Transport.
