A EUROPEAN airport will soon have the capacity to host more passengers and holidaymakers. Plans to add a new terminal to Budapest Airport in Hungary are set to go ahead, and will cost more than €2bn (£1.6bn).

The plans have been in place for a while, but the Hungarian government is now able to push ahead with construction at Ferenc Liszt Airport after it went back under majority state ownership. Last month Corvinus, an investment fund owned and managed by the Hungarian state, took an 80 per cent stake in the airport.
The rest is owned by French infrastructure group, Vinci Airports who are the the airport's operator. The country’s economic development minister Márton Nagy said at a press conference earlier this month that the third terminal would be built by 2032. New transport connections will also be constructed as part of the project, to minimise congestion to and from the airport, created by the extra passengers.
