Passengers’ favorite shops reopen

Ferenc Liszt International Airport has fully reopened; the terminal sections previously closed to traffic have been reopened. The only exception is the Terminal 2A departure hall, where the replacement of the floor tiles is currently still ongoing. Check-in and security screening therefore takes place at Terminal 2B. The refurbished 2A check-in hall will welcome passengers from the end of July.

Bathroom capacity increased by an average of 70% at the airport

Not only have the sanitary blocks at Budapest Airport been refurbished, their capacity has also more than doubled. On the mezzanine level of the SkyCourt, near the food and beverage outlets, there is now twice as much bathroom capacity available than previously, and, following the capacity expansions implemented up to 2016 in Terminal 2A, the sanitary blocks in the arrivals hall of Terminal 2B are also being refurbished – here, capacity will be tripled, once the works are completed. Budapest Airport ensures a pleasant environment and the cleanliness of the bathrooms with continuous disinfectant cleaning.

Taxiway Uniform refurbished

Taxiway U, one of the busiest at the airport, is being refurbished in several phases, now in the first round on nearly 2600 square meters. As part of the works, the concrete pavement is replaced, the substructure and the subsoil are strengthened. The great load-bearing capacity is very much needed, as taxiway Uniform takes much of the traffic by code E, i.e. wide body aircraft, which could increase further over the coming years.

In the interest of sustainable operation, Budapest Airport is using “recycled concrete” for the works: the approximately 35 cm thick concrete pavement demolished from the surface of Uniform is ground and spread in the load spreading layer of the taxiway, as broken concrete. This means that approximately 910 cubic meters of demolished concrete rubble is reused, instead of being dumped!
