Over the past year, BUD has received more Hungarian and international awards and recognition than ever before, and we look at these as a joint achievement. Being voted the best airport in Europe in 2022 is a collective success for the airport community, which we could only achieve by each of our organizational units, each colleague and partner contributing their personal best.
