Budapest Airport the Best in Eastern Europe Again

Budapest Airport was declared the winner of the ‘Best Airport in Eastern Europe’ award by British aviation analysts Skytrax for the second year in a row. Péter Huszka (pictured on the left), chief operating officer for Budapest Airport, lifted the prestigious accolade at the Passenger Terminal EXPO 2015 international exhibition in Paris early this March.

550 airports worldwide participated in the independent passenger satisfaction survey scheme organized by the aviation quality assessment and consultancy company Skytrax. The award bestowed purely on the basis of totalized passenger votes.

“The Skytrax Award for best airport in Eastern Europe is one of the most prestigious professional accolades that we could achieve in international aviation. It is also important feedback for us and all airport partners and service providers that last year’s success was not a one-off. We have proven that we are not only able to maintain our excellent service quality and performance but also to improve it further,” the CEO of Budapest Airport, Jost Lammers said. “The greatest joy for us is that our airport developments implemented over the past years and the new services provided to passengers all contributed to making Budapest the best airport in the region. This is what passengers recognized with their Skytrax votes, for which we are very grateful,” he added.

The Skytrax passenger satisfaction survey is the largest independent, professional survey scheme in international aviation. Voting took place in a total of 39 different categories, spanning the quality of airport services and products, from departure right through to arrival. The result is determined on the basis of anonymous feedback collected from passengers using a standard voting system. The 2015 World Airport Awards are based on 13.02 million survey questionnaires completed by 112 different nationalities of airline customers during the survey period from May 2014 to January 2015.
