Budapest Airport supporting full window replacement in local primary school

Continuing the window insulation program started several years ago, the airport operator has decided to offer, as of this year, window insulation, window replacement and other noise insulation-related support to certain institutions near the airport, in addition to noise insulation for residents.

In summer 2021, the Kép Street Primary School in District 17 was the first to be selected, based on a proposal of the municipality. This primary school is located in Rákoshegy, where the noise impacts of the airport are still perceptible.

As part of the support, Budapest Airport has undertaken to

replace all the windows of the Kép Street Primary School with more modern ones,

for a total amount of more than 3 million HUF, and to carry out all the organizational and administrative tasks related to the replacement of the windows. The replacement of the old, dilapidated windows will be carried out by fitting new windows that have a sound insulation capacity of at least 34 decibels, thus significantly reducing external noise impacts in the classrooms. The work is expected to be completed by the end of the summer; students will thus be able to return to a more comfortable environment at the beginning of the school year.

The airport operator is undertaking the window replacement in cooperation with the District 17 Municipality, through support provided by the For the Neighbors of Budapest Airport Foundation, with the help of the experts commissioned for this purpose.

Budapest Airport

first launched its window insulation program for residents together with nearby districts and settlements in 2008.

The airport operator, as a good neighbor, pays special attention to the quality of life of local residents. So far, it has provided window insulation for approximately 700 residential buildings.

BUD supports park renovation in District 18

Budapest Airport contributed 15 000 EUR (more than 5 million HUF), while majority owner AviAlliance added a further 4 000 EUR (nearly 1.4 million HUF) to the renovation of Martinovics square near the airport in District 18. The park in the vicinity of the airport will be completely renewed, including the playground, benches and covered areas as well.

As a company committed to being a good neighbor, the airport operator and AviAlliance consider supporting local communities a priority. Previously, the majority owner participated in the renovation of the yard of a kindergarten in District 17. Budapest Airport also handed out hundreds of square meters of outdoor paving slabs to neighboring settlements and during the first wave of the COVID pandemic,

it donated IT equipment to educational institutions or children’s homes several times in order to support the digital education of as many children as possible.
