About This Airport

Freighters from Chengdu, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong now land in Budapest every day of the week: Liszt Ferenc International (IATA: BUD, ICAO: LHBP) has turned itself into Central and Eastern Europe's China gateway, closing 2025 at roughly 426,000 tonnes — up more than 42 percent, and more cargo than Vienna and Zurich combined. The airport handles over 80 dedicated freighter flights a week. Sichuan Airlines operates daily, joined by China Cargo Airlines, Air China Cargo, SF Airlines and Hong Kong Airlines, while the newly launched Hungary Airlines adds its own freighter capacity to China. Far East e-commerce drives the volumes, distributed from here across the whole region. The core of the operation is BUD Cargo City, opened in 2020 and expanded in 2023 to a capacity of around 300,000 tonnes a year — real traffic has already outgrown it, and further construction is under way. Named after the composer Franz Liszt, the airport lies near Vecsés, some 16 kilometres southeast of the city centre on the M0 ring motorway, which ties together the corridors towards Vienna, Belgrade and Ukraine. On the passenger side, Budapest handled over 17 million travellers and is the home base of Wizz Air. The practical takeaway for forwarders: Chinese imports for Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and the Balkans increasingly land here rather than in Western Europe, with road feeder distribution straight from the ramp.
