Where it sits
50.0°N, 8.6°E puts FRA in the northern hemisphere, 5,563 km from the equator and 4,445 km from the North pole.

Straight through the middle
Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 50.0°S, 171.4°W. The nearest airport on this site to that point is Christchurch (CHC) in New Zealand, still 1,417 km away — most of the planet's antipodes are ocean.

What’s on this page, and what isn’t
Every figure here is computed from the airport’s coordinates and the rest of the table — distances, bearings, ranks, the antipode. Nothing is written by hand, so nothing on it is a half-remembered fact about a terminal that was rebuilt in 2019.
Which also means what you won’t find: no passenger figures, no terminal maps, no airline lists, no live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that invented those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
