Full Speed in Budapest: Euro Jet Ready for the Grand Prix and Sziget
Euro Jet’s team at Budapest Airport is operating at full speed as the two biggest events of the Hungarian Summer Season are fast approaching. The annual Hungarian Grand Prix will be held at the Hungaroring circuit from August 1-3, while the world-famous Sziget music festival will overtake Budapest from August 6-11, 2025.
With a decade of experience supporting flights for both events, Euro Jet’s Country Manager Peter Pazurek and his team of Ground Service Coordinators are ready to assist with any detail on the ground after arrival and before departure in order to ensure a smooth operation in Budapest.
No departure or arrival slots are expected to be implemented by Budapest’s Ferenc Liszt Airport (LHBP/BUD). While parking spaces are currently limited due to the ongoing ramp maintenance works, one runway will be opened for parking if the need arises to provide a sufficient number of parking positions. Four flight lines will be set up with a short turnaround spot in front of the GA terminal.
Though unlikely to be required, Gyor-Per (LHPR/QGY) and Debrecen (LHDC/DEB) can serve as alternate airports. They are located 150km and 200km respectively away from Budapest, and Euro Jet staff are prepared to support our customers at both.
As for specific services, we strongly recommend submitting your fuel requests in advance to avoid delays. The same goes for the ground transportation of passengers and crew as last-minute requests could prove challenging.
In case of arrivals for the Sziget festival, we would like to ask our customers to inform us prior to arrival about the amount of luggage and music equipment the passengers are flying with. This will help ensure that our team will provide a seamless service.
