Budapest terminal changes

Following the collapse of the national airline Malev, Budapest Airport will move all airline operations from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 during the night of 29-30 May 2012.  From 30 May 2012, all easyJet, Germanwings, Jet2.com, Norwegian and Wizz Air passengers will depart from Budapest Airport’s Terminal 2B.  Passengers flying on these airlines will arrive at Terminal 2A (from Schengen countries) or at Terminal 2B (from non-Schengen countries).

In a statement the airport company said that following the demise of Malev it has no other choice but to reduce costs by combining operational areas, and make the best use of the infrastructure at the more modern Terminal 2.

Negotiations are underway with Hungarian state railway company (MÁV) and the Budapest Transport Center (BKK) to offer seamless transport connections between the railway station at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.  During the first two weeks, Budapest Airport’s ground transport partners, Főtaxi and Airport Shuttle Minibus, will offer special services between the two terminals.  The Budapest Airport’s offices will remain in Terminal 1, and will be accessible via Gate B only.  General aviation and air cargo remain operational in the area near Terminal 1, as before. www.bud.hu/english
