Qatar Airways leads the busiest route from Frankfurt to Hamad International Airport, Doha, with 78 monthly flights, generating over 66 million air seat miles.

Frankfurt ranks as Qatar Airways' third-largest European market for summer seats sales.

United Airlines follows with a significant service to Chicago O'Hare International Airport, operating 60 flights monthly and nearly 83 million air seat miles. This route serves as a strategic hub for United Airlines' operations over the Atlantic Ocean.

United Airlines also operates 30 flights each to Denver International Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport from Frankfurt, serving as key transatlantic gateways.

American Airlines' route to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport offers 7,020 seats monthly. However, due to Boeing 787 delivery delays, the airline plans to adjust some routes for summer 2025.

Japan Airlines offers a daily service to Narita International Airport, providing 5,850 seats monthly with its noted economy class layout. Despite the higher density seating on other Dreamliners, JAL maintains a 2-4-2 configuration on these routes.
