Hungary’s main international airport is bouncing back from the collapse of national carrier Malev and closing in on Prague and Warsaw in the race to become the key hub in central and Eastern Europe, its chief executive said.
Budapest Airport, which posted the steepest rise in passenger numbers in central Europe in 2015 and the first eight months of 2016, expects to keep increasing the number of people and amount of cargo it handles, Chief Executive Officer Jost Lammers said in an interview in Budapest on Tuesday.
