BUD Future Program
Until 2011, Budapest Airport Zrt. will be investing more than 261 million euros in expanding and modernizing the airport’s infrastructure. With the planned investments, the company aims at meeting the demand of growth and enriching and improving customer service and comfort. The new Budapest Airport will promote further economic growth for the region and will create additional jobs – directly and indirectly. In realizing all these projects, the new owners of Budapest Airport Zrt. comply with the obligations laid down in the privatization contract.
Among the most important projects are:
BUD Skycourt
A new terminal building named BUD Skycourt will be connecting Terminal 2A and 2B in the future. Preparatory works have already commenced. The BUD Skycourt is designed to merge the flow of all passengers through the airside retail area and link all gates on the airside. It will thus help to create a more relaxed way for the passengers through the terminal. A broad choice of shops on the departure floor and bars and restaurants on the mezzanine level will create a new atmosphere for those waiting. BUD Skycourt will double the current existing commercial space of the airport and also improve security processes with a new, centralized area for security checks.
New Piers
Two new piers with 16 new airbridges will be erected at Terminal 2.
Apron development
More than 90,000 square meters of new apron area will be realized.
New car park
In front of Terminal 2, a new multi-storey car park will be erected.
New Air Cargo City
New air cargo facilities will be built next to Terminal 2. They are meant to serve the airport as well as Budapest’s cargo businesses.
Terminal 1
Terminal 1 – mainly serving the growing low-cost traffic – will be expanded in line with the demand. The existing building is intended to be used for departing traffic only in the future, while a new arrivals hall next to it will serve the incoming traffic and thus increase the terminal’s capacity.
In addition, the airport intends to build a new maintanance hangar as well as a modern engine test run stand.
