Despite the numerous challenges it had in store, 2023 was one of the most successful years in the history of Budapest Airport. Passenger traffic exceeded expectations last year, with 14.7 million passengers using Ferenc Liszt International Airport, which means a 91% recovery from the pre-pandemic level. Air cargo volumes reached an unprecedented record, with the BUD Cargo City handling more than 200,000 tons of cargo. Meanwhile, the industry confirmed the airport’s progress by upgrading its rating to four stars, and passengers voted Budapest Airport the best airport in Europe and the best airport in Eastern Europe for the tenth time. While awards reflect international perceptions, research results reflect the opinions of Hungarians, but what they have in common is that they all reflect high quality and an outstanding passenger experience.
