The airport operator made the statement in response to a Saturday report by news portal Magyar Hang that a Syrian aircraft had landed in Budapest.
Budapest Airport said “these types of statements and rumours have the potential to undermine general trust in the airport” and asked for the withdrawal of the article that was “based on false information.”
In addition, the Government Information Center (KTK) said on Sunday that “It is fake news that Bashar al-Assad has arrived in Hungary,”
Magyar Hang has used a photograph for its report for an article published in 2012, KTK added.
