14 - Building The Future Of Travel - Inside Frankfurts Terminal 3

Show notes

In this episode of Because It Matters, recorded live at the PTE World 26 in London, we explore the massive undertaking of Frankfurt Airport’s Terminal 3, one of Europe’s largest privately financed construction projects. Guests Sascha König (Fraport AG) and Lars Rosenberger (dormakaba) discuss the 20-year journey from planning to the upcoming grand opening.  They delve into how the terminal is redefining the passenger journey through a digital-first approach, replacing traditional counters with full self-service and "invisible" security systems. The conversation also highlights the intensive testing phase involving thousands of trial passengers and the complex logistics of relocating over 60 airlines to ensure a seamless, stress-free flow from day one.
