ACI accesses the quality of services at nearly 400 international airports worldwide each year, with a survey using more than 30 performance indicators. Overall passenger satisfaction scores were above 4 on a scale of 5 throughout the year and significantly higher overall than during the busiest year of 2019, ACI said.
“Putting the traveler at the center is more important than ever, and it is the way forward. We are proud of the team at Budapest Airport for winning the Best Airport of 15 to 25 Million Passengers in Europe Award. This shows that the whole airport community has come together to put the passenger first,” said Luis Felipe de Oliveira, the director general of ACI World.
“We are extremely proud that Ferenc Liszt International Airport has become the best in Europe. However, this is not only a success for Budapest Airport, but for the entire airport community; we have been top rated for all the efforts we have made together over the years to improve the quality of the airport. We are working every day to provide the best passenger experience and to make Ferenc Liszt International Airport a worthy gateway to Hungary, where it is a pleasure to depart and a joy to arrive,”
said Chris Dinsdale, the CEO of Budapest Airport. He added: “Four years ago, we embarked on a massive development program together with our shareholders, but this did not just involve the construction of new buildings. Quality and an excellent passenger experience are our top priority, and this should be reflected in services, a relaxed and stress-free journey, kindness and cleanliness, among other things.”
The value of the developments implemented by Budapest Airport in the last 4 years reached 90 billion HUF by the end of 2022 and will exceed 100 billion HUF by the spring of 2023. The developments include capacity expansion, infrastructure, sustainability and other investments to enhance the passenger experience.

Budapest Airport continues to be part of an international elite group of 34 airports that operate in a carbon neutral way, and the company’s sustainability efforts have also earned it second place in the Green Balance category at the Effekt 2030 awards and the Deloitte Green Frog Award. Budapest Airport’s outstanding marketing activities were recognized by the World Routes Marketing Awards for Best Airline Marketing, and the company’s communication efforts were recognized at the Eventiada IPRA Golden World Awards 2020 for Best Reputation Management.
