Budapest Airport accredited for internatiol aviation restart programme

Airport Council International (ACI) has reviewed Budapest Airport’s epidemiological measures, and officially declared Ferenc Liszt International Airport as accredited in the program established by the council, aimed at restarting aviation. This means that the airport operator continuously safeguards the health of those at the airport, based on international guidelines, facilitating the earliest possible recovery in aviation.

The Aviation Business Restart and Recovery guidelines launched by ACI and the ICAO Council Aviation Recovery Task Force Recommendations were created to assist the practical application of epidemiological protocols amongst airports, facilitating the earliest possible restarting of aviation and enabling companies who join to help make practices more efficient, by providing experience-based feedback.

The accreditation attests that, together with Hungarian and international authorities, Budapest Airport ensures compliance with international recommendations, in line with protocols, thus minimizing the risk of infection. Budapest Airport introduced all possible measures to safeguard the health of passengers and staff at the airport already upon the appearance of the coronavirus pandemic in Europe.

The operator continuously maintains disinfectant cleaning at the airport, placed floor stickers, as well as prohibitive stickers on every second seat in the transit area, in the interest of social distancing.
