À propos Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport

L'aéroport international Ferenc Liszt de Budapest est le principal aéroport international de Hongrie, desservant Budapest, la capitale. Situé à Ferihegy, à environ 16 kilomètres au sud-est du centre-ville, l'aéroport a été renommé en 2011 en l'honneur du compositeur hongrois Franz Liszt. BUD accueille plus de 16 millions de passagers par an et a connu une croissance rapide grâce à l'expansion des compagnies à bas prix, notamment Ryanair et Wizz Air, qui ont fait de Budapest une base importante pour les voyages aériens à bas coût en Europe centrale. L'aéroport dispose de deux terminaux, le Terminal 2A desservant les vols Schengen et le Terminal 2B les vols non-Schengen. Le bus navette 100E assure un service direct vers le centre-ville, et une liaison ferroviaire est en cours de développement. BUD exploite deux pistes et sert de base principale pour Wizz Air, la plus grande compagnie à bas prix d'Europe centrale et orientale. La popularité de Budapest en tant que destination touristique, connue pour ses bains thermaux, son architecture historique et sa vie nocturne animée, contribue à la demande saisonnière importante de l'aéroport. L'aéroport est également devenu un point de correspondance de plus en plus important pour les voyages entre l'Europe occidentale et les destinations d'Europe de l'Est.
