SHOCKING: Budapest Airport ran out of jet fuel? Multiple planes could not take off
A flight to Egypt could not leave Budapest Airport today because of the lack of jet fuel. The airport said the problem is only temporary.
According to index.hu, a plane could not depart from Budapest to Hurghada today because they did not receive enough fuel to reach Egypt.
First, they modified the departure time from 6.15 to 7.45 AM. Later, the display showed only the delay. A passenger said the plane got 4,000 litres of kerosene, but it needed 11,000 to reach Egypt.
A Ryanair plane had to wait more than an hour at Budapest Airport due to a lack of fuel on Thursday. The fuel supplier of the airport is the Hungarian gas and oil giant MOL. Piroska Bakos, the company spokeswoman, said the lack of fuel was not their fault.

MOL is the airport’s jet fuel supplier
Producing jet fuel is continuous, and they delivered the amount set in their contract in time.
According to the airport’s reaction, the Hurghada plane could not take off because of a temporary inventory problem at Air BP, the jet fuel supplier company of the airport. However, they worked tirelessly to find a satisfactory solution.
They added that contracted airlines are not affected by the inventory problem.

Orbanistan efficiency. More to come guaranteed.
Line of Credit put on hold, until payment received of over-due account ?
Hope not.
It’s an embarrassment which we can do without at this point in time, through the UGLINESS un-pleasant times we ALL are living in Hungary.
We can ill afford a situation like this that COULD have ramifications on Tourism, which factually means LIFE, to major numbers of business type tourist operations and Hungarians.
