According to news wire MTI, CEO Ferenc Turi said on Monday that the company had reached an agreement with unions on pay rises until 2019, ensuring competitive salaries.

The number of HungaroControl air traffic controllers has climbed by more than 10%, he added.

HungaroControl’s ATCs guided over 327,000 aircraft through Hungarian airspace in January-April, up about 7% from the base period. The number of en route flights is expected to climb 8-12% this year, while the number of take-offs and landings at Liszt Ferenc International Airport could increase 10-15%.

HungaroControl is taking all possible measures to reduce the number of late flights.
