Sustainable renovation of taxiway G at Budapest Airport Budapest Airport has begun the renovation of taxiway G, which primarily serves air traffic around Terminal 1. The works are necessary because the existing paved surfaces and utility systems have reached the end of their intended life and require refurbishment. The works, which will be carried out in three phases until summer 2026, will involve the construction of around 17,000 square meters of new basalt concrete pavement and substructures, water drains and culverts, as well as the renewal of the visual navigation system, floodlighting and the airfield lighting systems. During the construction works, Budapest Airport, part of the VINCI Airports network, pays special attention to sustainability; nearly 99% of the demolished materials will be recycled, after obtaining the necessary certifications, thus significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions from transportation. #BudapestAirport #VINCIAirports

Budapest Airport, part of the the VINCI Airports network, closed the first half of the year with more than 9 million passengers and another cargo record After a record first quarter, passenger traffic at Ferenc Liszt International Airport continues to climb steadily.
