Snow Diverts Budapest Flights
Some flights bound for Budapest had to be rerouted to other airports on Tuesday, due to the heavy snow.

One runway at Liszt Ferenc Airport was closed for much of the day, and visibility was poor.

The Wizz Air flight from Berlin and the Ryanair flight from Dublin had to land in Bratislava.

A Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt was diverted to Vienna, and Wizz Air’s Pristina-Budapest flight went to Debrecen.
