Budapest Airport disrupted by heavy weather

“Due to the severe thunderstorm raging over Budapest, significant delays are expected at Budapest Airport. Delays and even cancelations are possible in the case of departing flights, while flights arriving in Budapest are also subject to delays and diversions (landing at another airport).

“So far, flights from Berlin and Stuttgart to Budapest have been unable to land at Ferenc Liszt International Airport and have been diverted to other cities. Currently, the airport is operational, but ground handling is slow, due to lightning and heavy thunderstorms.

“We ask for the kind patience and understanding of our passengers,”

the website of Budapest Airport informs visitors of the site.

A third flight to Amsterdam is also listed as cancelled in the list of arrivals: however, according to Telex, at 22:40 on Tuesday, most departing flights were reported as delayed by the airport system.
