The rumours are true; Budapest Airport might fall under Hungarian ownership
Change language:
Indotek Group is indeed negotiating the acquisition of Budapest Airport as part of a consortium of Hungarian and, to a lesser extent, American investors, Dániel Jellinek, the CEO of Indotek Group, responded to the rumours from Bloomberg.
As per Portfolio’s information, the following lines are the comments from Indotek Group:
Indotek Group is constantly looking for targets to purchase, primarily in the real estate and other related economic sectors. The main strength of the group is the acquisition, consolidation, and development of market targets that have economic difficulties.
Indotek Group conducts business negotiations with potential – Hungarian and, to a lesser extent, American – investors about the acquisition of Budapest Airport Ltd. as part of a consortium. The consortium, organised by Indotek Group, consists exclusively of professionals with no political affiliation.
Due to the confidential nature of these business negotiations, I cannot disclose any additional information, Dániel Jellinek said.
Bloomberg was informed that a consortium had made an offer to Budapest Airport, including Dániel Jellinek, the founder of Indotek Group and one of the richest people in Hungary, and MOL Group.

The Hungarian government to buy Budapest Airport?
Yay for cronyism! Another cash cow being lined up for the ruling elite to milk dry.
Just wondering which oligarch friend of…. will grow fatter this time.
Indotek, “we sure would like to buy that airport”
Hungarian government “No problem, we’ll blame coronavirus on foreign travellers, basically shut down the airport and bring the price down for you. Sound good?”
