Budapest Airport: going back to normal step-by-step
Monday, April 19th, 2010
Budapest Airport is back to normal operations since 12.05 hours local time, though this does not mean that all scheduled fligths could depart or arrive on schedule. The first flight to leave Budapest Airport was Travel Service flight to Hurghada (Egypt) at 14.24 local time soon to be followed by WizzAir Gothenburg service. Malév can launch only four flights today to Prague, Zagreb, Warsaw and Bucharest.
Airspace closure is lifted in Europe in various airports and various countries so Budapest Airport advises passengers with valid tickets to check first the airlines before they start out for the airport in Budapest. The weather situation may vary from hour to hour and day by day so it might take days or even weeks until air traffic in Europe gets back to normal. Airspace closure is lifted in Hungary until Tuesday 1.59 AM, 20th April. Thousands of passengers had to change their bookings or had to cancel their flights and there were hundreds of flight cancellations in Budapest alone.
