This year, we are opening up new horizons in the life of the airport: we are expanding Terminal 2 and starting construction of Terminal 3. Our aim is to continue to provide a high quality airport environment and services for the Hungarian people and visitors to Hungary,”
said Francois Berisot, CEO of Budapest Airport.
