Cargo boom at Budapest Airport
Budapest Airport’s Cargo City is set for another significant expansion following the dynamic cargo development at the Hungarian gateway since the infrastructure opened in January 2020.
Increasing the airport’s annual cargo capacity to 300,000 t, the latest progression is another step in consolidating Budapest’s place in the global air cargo market. The warehouse area of BUD Cargo City will be extended by an additional 6,500 sqm with a further 2,000 sqm of office space on the mezzanine level.
6,000 sqm manoeuvring and storage areas will also be added to the building, alongside a 1,450 sqm multi-functional canopy area created for live animal treatment. The expansion will allow Budapest to handle 240,000 t at the Cargo City with an additional 60,000 t being served via the integrator facilities of DHL, UPS, and Fedex at Terminal 1. (cj)
