Balaton Airport to open up the gate to the West

Hévíz-Balaton Airport belongs to the Hungarian state once again, as all properties on the territory were added to the property management of the Hungarian Tourism Agency.

The airport is set to be the gate to the West and will operate as a modern, European aerodrome after reconstruction works are done, writes hellomagyar.hu.

The Hungarian Tourism Agency has announced that starting from April 1,

the international Hévíz-Balaton Airport belongs to the Hungarian state.

After acquiring 90% of the shares in November, the terminal and further buildings on the territory are now state properties. Development works representing a high, European standard will start soon, in order to increase the quality of services provided on a level never seen before.

The Airport situated in Sármellék will be the gate to the West; its international competitiveness in the area will depend on its operation conducted at a high level. 

Thanks to the possibility to reach Hungary directly by flight, more tourists can arrive in the country. Moreover, it can further decrease the focus on the seasonal arrival of foreigners.
