Budapest Airport among exhibitors at one of the world’s largest cargo forums
Change language:
“Connect differently!” – this is the motto of the joint cargo strategy with which Budapest, Düsseldorf and Hamburg Airport have been appearing jointly for more than a year now at international air cargo forums, also because these three airports belong to the same shareholder group, the AviAlliance. This week, the representatives of Budapest Airport’s Business Unit Property and Cargo are participating at the Air Cargo Forum organized by The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) in Toronto, Canada, the largest airfreight meeting with over 300 exhibitors and over 4 000 top managers and executives from all over the world, Budapest Airport press release said.
In less than a year, a modern, 20 000-square-meter cargo hub and warehouse will be handed over to cargo carriers at Budapest Airport, with construction getting underway since mid of September. (Read details HERE.)The execution of the Cargo City is the most important message from Hungary at the Toronto forum, where Budapest Airport is exhibiting jointly, with fellow cargo experts from Düsseldorf and Hamburg. All three airports are focusing on developing the cargo business, primarily because there are significant market opportunities in new cargo bases, where large capacities are available, unlike at traditional European hubs. The construction of the Cargo City at Budapest Airport is part of this strategy, as Hungary offers ideal conditions to become a large cargo hub for Central Eastern Europe.
Cargo traffic has increased by no less than 39 percent at Budapest Airport during the past two years, reaching 127 000 tons last year, with as much as 150 000 tons possible this year.
