BREAKING: Delays, cancellations, closed runway at Budapest Airport due to snowfall

Unexpected snowfall surprised Hungary today, one day before Christmas Eve, although weather forecasts talked about spring-ish weather for today and tomorrow. Due to the intensive snowfall at Budapest Airport, there will be cancellations and delays and one of the runways had to be closed.

According to the airport’s official Facebook page, “the heavy snowfall is also affecting Ferenc Liszt International Airport. Due to weather conditions, runway 1 had to be temporarily closed, but the airport is now back to operating with two runways. BUD’s snow clearance fleet is continuously clearing the runways, taxiways and the terminal apron. The ground handling companies are also continuously de-icing the aircraft, but it is taking longer than usual, so delays and cancelations are expected in the coming hours.

Passengers are advised to monitor the status of their flights and, in view of the weather, leave for the airport earlier than usual, to ensure that they arrive at Terminal 2 on time, at least two hours before departure, despite any possible traffic disruptions.”
