Franz Liszt
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport serves the Hungarian capital and is the nation's principal aviation gateway. Located southeast of the city centre, this expansive facility covers over 1,500 hectares and features two runways.
Renamed in 2011 to honour the bicentenary of Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, the airport connects Budapest internationally, with a strong focus on European routes but also reaching Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East. It functions as a key hub for Wizz Air and a base for Ryanair, continuing its role as a significant transit point despite earlier challenges following the cessation of Malév Hungarian Airlines' operations.
