Ferenc Liszt International Airport has been awarded the best airport in Eastern Europe by aviation research organization Skytrax for the twelfth consecutive year. Budapest Airport, part of the VINCI Airports network, received the recognition, which is based on feedback from passengers, at the Passenger Terminal EXPO.
Ferenc Liszt International Airport has won the Skytrax award for the twelfth time. The World Airport Awards ceremony was held in Madrid on 9 April, during the Passenger Terminal EXPO, where Budapest Airport again received the accolade as the best airport in the region. The award is based on the World Airport Survey questionnaires, which are completed by passengers of more than 100 nationalities, over an 8-month survey period. During the survey, respondents rate their travel experience and airport services, from arrival, through check-in and security screening to departure at the boarding gates.
“We are delighted and honored to win the Skytrax award for the Best Airport in Eastern Europe for the twelfth consecutive year,” said Francois Berisot, the CEO of Budapest Airport. “This year, we are opening new horizons in the life of the airport; we are expanding Terminal 2 and starting the construction of Terminal 3. Our aim is to continue to provide a high-quality airport environment and services worthy of Hungary for the Hungarian people and visitors.”
The Skytrax Award is not the first major recognition that Budapest Airport has received this year; the airport has also won the Airport Service Quality Award for the best European airport with 15-25 million passengers, for the second time in two years.
