Change language:
On 2 March, Budapest Airport held its annual gala to present awards to its most outstanding commercial, airline, environmental, cargo and media partners. Budflyer, a Hungarian Facebook page focusing on travel news, said that the airport’s management gave insight into some future projects, including the plans for Terminal 3.
New terminals, new piers for Budapest Airport
The Ferenc Liszt International Airport currently has two terminals. Passengers use Terminals 2A and 2B. Chris Dinsdale, the CEO of Budapest Airport, said last February that preparations for the reopening of Terminal 1 for passengers started then. According to the plans, Terminal 1 will greet its first passengers in the summer of 2024. He added that the planning of Terminal 3 was in progress, and they are readying the airport for the work. Mr Dinsdale highlighted then that the new terminal would open in 2028.
At the annual gala of the Budapest Airport, organised this Thursday, the company gave insight to the partakers on the project. The master plan is ready for the project, Budflyer wrote. T3 will be connected to the 2A terminal and have four brand-new piers. Two will be passenger bridges, while two will offer the traditional so-called “walking” solution for the travellers.
Budflyer shared this image of the new terminal. The new “Airport City” is coloured in green:
The Budapest Airport would like to extend the space for planes by building new aircraft stands near Terminal 2B. Furthermore, they plan to create a so-called “Airport City”, a new complex and park of offices and service providers. The location of the building will be behind the airport’s Ibis Hotel.
Thanks to the new terminal and several other developments connected to it, the airport plans to serve 31 million passengers. Budflyer’s Facebook post suggests an opening in 2030.
