About Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport
Overview
Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport serves as Hungary's primary international airport, located approximately 16 kilometers southeast of Budapest city center. As a large airport with two concrete runways totaling nearly 22,000 feet of total runway length, the facility handles significant commercial and cargo aviation traffic for the Central European region.
Flying Conditions
The airport sits at 495 feet above mean sea level, which provides relatively stable atmospheric conditions for most aviation operations. Its central European location means pilots should anticipate variable weather patterns, with potential seasonal wind shifts that could impact approach and departure strategies across the two parallel runways.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runway configuration (13L/31R and 13R/31L) offers operational flexibility for different wind conditions and traffic management. Its geographic coordinates at 47.430180, 19.262393 position the airport in a relatively flat terrain region, which generally provides predictable approach and departure environments for pilots.
Approach Considerations
With runways oriented approximately 130/310 degrees, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios, particularly during transitional seasonal periods. The substantial runway lengths (12,162 and 9,875 feet respectively) provide ample space for most commercial aircraft types to safely conduct approach, landing, and takeoff procedures.
