Fraport AG’s executive board member and executive director operations (COO), Peter Schmitz, will leave the company at his own request, effective August 31, 2014, when his current contract expires.

From 2002 to 2009, he served as senior executive vice president for Fraport AG’s “Ground Services” strategic business unit, before joining the executive board in 2009 as member and executive director operations. In this role, he had board responsibility for “Airside and Terminal Management, Corporate Safety and Security” strategic business unit, as well as for the company’s “Real Estate and Facility Management” and “Information and Telecommunications” service units.

After Peter Schmitz leaves the company, the divisional areas of responsibility within Fraport’s executive board will be reallocated as follows:
