Germany's Fraport sees passenger decline in Nov.

German airport operator Fraport AG said Thursday the company saw a steep decline in passengers at its main airport in November as the economic slump affected travel.

The Frankfurt-based company that runs Frankfurt Airport _ continental Europe's second-largest by passengers after Paris Charles de Gaulle _ said November passenger levels fell 7 percent from a year ago to 3.9 million.

Fraport said in the January to November period, passenger levels at Frankfurt Airport fell 1 percent to 49.7 million.

The company said air freight tonnage through the airport also fell by 8.2 percent for the month of November.
