Airport
Arriving at Budapest Airport (Budapest
Ferihegy)
 Hungary's
Ferihegy airport (now also to be known as Budapest
Airport), is located about 10 km south-east
of Budapest and has two main terminals. The
newly renovated Terminal 1, opened on 1 September
2005, handles flights with budget carriers including
Easy Jet, Wizz Air, Sky Europe, Norwegian Air
Shuttle and Germanwings.
The modern Terminal 2 building is divided into
two sections, the original 2A concourse and
the more recent 2B extension. Building 2A is
used by the Hungarian national carrier Malév,
together with Lufthansa and other partner airlines
such as Delta and Air Alitalia, whereas 2B handles
all other carriers.
Whilst plans are afoot to expand Ferihegy still
further with a Terminal 2C building, the work,
which is expected to be completed by 2007, is
still in the early planning stages.

and downtown Budapest once you arrive, see our
