From downtown to Budapest airport in 20 minutes?
Change language:
At the moment, there are two plans about the railway line to Budapest Airport that could be realised. One is about a possible route from Nyugati Railway Station, the other would take passengers from Keleti Railway Station to the airport.
According to Turizmus, the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) support both of the plans from a professional point of view. Róbert Homolya, the chairman and managing director of the railway company, was the one to answer questions about the plans to connect downtown Budapest to Franz Liszt International Airport. According to Homolya, it is up to the government which route is actually realised. The decision also affects the future of the two main railway stations of the capital.
According to Homolya, the government plans to make the environmentally friendly railway the base of the capital’s public transport.
One of the key components of this is establishing a railway line that would ensure a connection to the airport’s Terminal 2. The MÁV Group agrees that establishing a railway line would be of key importance.
