Lammers said Liszt Ferenc’s Terminal 1 would remain closed for the time being, adding that Budapest Airport was waiting for an outside investor to build a cargo base and an airport hotel.

Terminal 1 was closed and the cargo base investment postponed after troubled national carrier Malev was grounded early in 2012.

Lammers forecast a 3.4% increase in passengers at Liszt Ferenc International Airport in Budapest in 2014 “if nothing unforeseen happens,” according to national news service MTI.
