Heathrow Airport in
and Charles de Gaulle in

of
flights (about 500,000 per year) and cargo traffic, Frankfurt comes second
after Charles de Gaulle.

the region Frankfurt/Leipzig will become even more
in future and
a lot of jobs. The pollution and noise in Frankfurt and Leipzig are under
from time to time but
in logistics and the creation of new jobs seem
to be more important than health and sleep.
Keep the air

they produce less
. A cargo train emits 90 % fewer diesel particles into the
air than a

containers can be loaded directly onto trains from shipping
