Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport is the main international gateway to Hungary's capital. Situated to the southeast of the city, it stands as the nation's largest commercial aviation facility. Originally known as Ferihegy, the airport was renamed in 2011 to honour the composer Franz Liszt on his bicentenary.

Covering a substantial area and featuring two runways, the airport facilitates connections across Europe and extends to destinations in Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East. It serves as a key hub for airlines including Wizz Air and Ryanair. The facility’s operations have seen shifts over the years, notably following the cessation of Malév Hungarian Airlines in 2012, which significantly impacted passenger and cargo traffic.
