"The heavy snowfall experienced during the last few days has caused significant disruptions at many European airports. In western Europe and especially in England, most flights depart with significant delays and some have been canceled.Due to the delays and the mandatory de-icing procedure prior to takeoff, flights departing from Budapest are being delayed as well. Therefore it is worth checking the latest flight information on Budapest Airport’s website before departing for the airport.
Since Monday evening, Budapest Airport’s snow fleet has been working around the clock to clear the runways and taxiways. Weather forecasts indicate that the snowfall will continue until around midnight tonight, with varying intensity, but more or less continuously.
All of Budapest Airport’s employees are working to ensure that delays to arriving and departing flights are minimized."
