Hungary is looking to attract the Qatar Investment Authority to a consortium the government is forming for the purchase of Budapest Airport Zrt.
A deal to purchase the hub is close to being finalized but the signing may slip into next year because the buyers need to agree on the price with the three current owners as well as 10 debt holders simultaneously, Economic Development Minister Marton Nagy said in an interview in Budapest on Monday.
