The operator of Liszt Ferenc International airport has been recognized for its sustainability scheme with an international award presented on Tuesday.
Maintenance work has begun on the second runway at Liszt Ferenc airport and will be carried out in one phase.
Budapest’s Liszt Ferenc International Airport is implementing new rules for passengers entering the country following the government's new coronavirus travel restrictions.
The pier can comfortably accommodate up to 5,000 passengers at once, with a total of 2,500 seats.
The number of passengers at Budapest Airport was over 80 percent down in July compared to the same month last year, but there was a three-fold increase compared to the previous month.
As Hungary introduced new international travel restrictions on Wednesday, Budapest Airport has also introduced new protective measures.
Flights to and from Milan, Treviso, and Bergamo have been suspended until a review on April 3.
The operator confirmed that runway 1 is scheduled to be closed from the end of March, and runway 2 will be closed down at the end of May for no more than two weeks each.
Construction will be completed before the summer peak, bringing the total number of security corridors at the airport to 18.
Tamás Schanda said the plans are already finished, they have the necessary permissions granted and construction will begin in 2021.
The operator attributed the record figures to Budapest’s booming tourism industry, the airport’s expanding network of flights and the arrival of new carriers.
Liszt Ferenc International Airport’s runway 2 underwent an eight-week refurbishment project, which included complete renovation and the installation of a new instrument landing system (ILS).
