The purchase agreement on the Hungarian state and an associated investor acquiring Liszt Ferenc International Airport has been signed, Márton Nagy, the national economy minister said.

“We’ve got it back: the airport is once again in Hungarian hands,” he said.

The purchase involving state-owned Corvinus Zrt acquiring an 80% stake was made in partnership with French-owned Vinci Airports, which acquired 20%, the minister said. The purchase price was 3.1 billion euros.

An agreement was reached with a consortium of lenders on extending 1.44 billion euros of loans taken out by Budapest Airport’s former owners, AviAlliance, owned by Canada’s Public Sector Pension Investment Board.
