The airport of Hungary’s capital showed a string uptrend in air freight business the first four months. The year-on-year increase of 30 per cent in air freight volume confirms the aims of the Budapest Airport Zrt. to quickly implement the new Cargo City. Construction works for the 140,000 m² project shall start this year and be finished by the end of 2012. 75 per cent of the shares of Budapest Airport Zrt. are held by the German company Hochtief AirPort.
