Another Award for Budapest’s Main Airport

Ferenc Liszt International Airport has been named ‘Best Airport in Eastern Europe’ by Skytrax at the World Airport Awards in March for the tenth time in a row. This is its second major accolade in a month. At the beginning of March, ACI chose Ferenc Liszt International Airport as the best airport in Europe among airports with 15-25 million passengers, also based on passenger feedback.

The Skytrax award, presented at the Passenger Terminal EXPO in Amsterdam on Wednesday evening, is based on the World Airport Survey questionnaires, which are completed by air passengers of more than 100 nationalities over the 8-month survey period. As reported by Budapest Airport, the operator of Ferenc Liszt International Airport , the survey asks respondents to rate their travel experience and the various airport services, from arrival, through check-in and security screening, to departure at the boarding gates.

The CEO of Budapest Airport, Chris Dinsdale pointed out that “it is a great source of pride to see that the hard work of the airport community is seen and appreciated by passengers. We have made great progress in a decade: we have renewed our terminals, expanded our airport services, constructed two new, high-quality passenger piers and a cargo base, introduced family-friendly services and implemented state-of-the-art security screening technology.”

He added that “we are not stopping on this road, but further development is only possible with expanded capacity. We are only waiting for the building permit for the reopening of Terminal 1, while design and organization works in preparation for the new Terminal 3 are well underway.”
