Budapest International Airport Handles 4.7 M Passengers In Q3
Passenger numbers at Liszt Ferenc International airport rose by an annual 6.8% to 4.7 million in the third quarter of the year, airport operator Budapest Airport said.

The airport handled more than 1.6 million passengers in July and in August, respectively, and more than 1.5 million in September.

The number of take-offs and landings per month was around 11,570, higher than before but still lower than the 12,000 record in 2006.

Most passengers travelled between Budapest and London, followed by passengers travelling between Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels and Tel Aviv.
