January saw a cargo boom of 6,487 tons at the airport, while in the same month in 2016 arriving and departing cargo traffic totaled 5,114 tons. Budapest Airport calculates this amounts to 26.8% growth, taking only air cargo into account, and 37.6% with road freight traffic also included.
The underlying factors include the strong performance of the Hungarian processing industry and exports of high value-added goods such as electronics, pharmaceuticals and vehicle parts, Budapest Airport explains.
