Flights Cancelled & Delayed at Budapest Airport Due to Heavy Snow
Liszt Ferenc International has been operating with two runways since dawn, but delays or cancellations could still occur during the day, airport operator Budapest Airport said.

Due to heavy snowfall late Tuesday, more than twenty evening departures were cancelled for safety reasons, and there were some delays on Wednesday morning, Budapest Airport said.

"The highest level of snow readiness is still in effect, and Budapest Airport services are working hard to continuously clear taxiways, aprons and runways to ensure the safety of the airport," the operator said.
