FRANKFURT is no longer a joint military/civilian airport. Not many people may know that for the last 60 years it has also been the US Air Force Rhein-Main Air Base. The USAF last week completed the relocation of its European transport and logistics hub to Ramstein and Spangdahlem air bases, where new and expanded facilities have been completed with substantial funding from Fraport, the Frankurt holding company. The air base area will provide enormous growth opportunities for Germany's largest airport. By about 2015, a brand new Terminal 3 will be completed on the former air-base site. On land, already returned by the Rhein-Main Air Base, the successful CargoCity South has sprouted up in the past few years. It's goodbye to the C117.
