With this award, Budapest Airport recognizes Cargolux\u2019s contribution to its record-breaking year. \u201cWe are honored and proud to receive this award,\u201d says Tony McNichol, Regional Director Central Europe. \u201cIt is a great recognition of our efforts to offer the Hungarian air freight community the best possible service.\u201d In 2017, Cargolux transported close to 11,000 tons of cargo from and to Budapest Airport, an increase of +14.5 percent compared to 2016.

The airport of the Hungarian capital welcomed more passengers than ever before in 2017 by passing the 13 million mark. For that reason, Budapest Airport (BUD) hosted an awards ceremony to thank its valued business partners who continue to play a significant role in its aviation and retail development. Recognizing those which stood out in various fields throughout the last 12 months, the Hungarian gateway took the opportunity to praise each and every one of its associates which had boosted the airport\u2019s development throughout 2017. \u201cThe fantastic results we achieved last year were due to the overall support and involvement from our closely-held partners,\u201d explained Jost Lammers, CEO of Budapest Airport, at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a joint achievement for all at Budapest, and we thank everyone who has contributed to the airport\u2019s outstanding figures, helping us remain one of Europe\u2019s fastest-growing major airports,\u201d Lammers added. Budapest Airport has become an important cargo hub in Central Eastern Europe. Almost 130.000 tons of air cargo was handled at BUD in 2017, an increase by 13.4 percent compared to the previous year. A new Cargo City at BUD is going to be operational in summer 2019. \u201cCargo and logistics are principally based on the relationship and the co-operation between the partners. We are proud to have an excellent long-time co-operation with our great partner, Cargolux, and we are happy to celebrate together the 15th year\u2019s anniversary of their BUD operation,\u201d Ren\u00e9 Droese said, Director Property and Cargo at Budapest Airport.<\/p>\n
