Passenger numbers at Liszt Ferenc International Airport in Budapest rose by an annual 15.4 percent to 1.33 million in July, operator Budapest Airport said on Wednesday.

Passenger numbers were higher than usual because the FINA World Aquatics Championships in Budapest and Balatonfüred, and the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix were both held in July.

Air cargo volume reached 10,729 tonnes and the combined number of arriving and departing flights was 10,097 in July. The most popular destinations were London, Paris and Amsterdam.

As we wrote before, Lufthansa will modify its timetable and increase its number of flights between Budapest and Frankfurt. In the winter timetable, it usually has four flights a day between Hungary’s capital and Germany’s busiest airport.
