BUDAPEST AIRPORT to initiate sustainability for STARGATE project

Budapest Airport is a member of the consortium, which won nearly €25 million of support from the European Commission, as part of a sustainability project called STARGATE. The airport operator’s task will be to develop and put in place a cloud-based, paper-free air cargo handling system, together with other sustainable projects concerning mainly the terminal, energy efficiency and traffic developments. As part of the project, Budapest Airport can implement developments to a value of €1.53 million, 70 per cent of which (€1.07 million) is provided by the European Union, with the rest funded by Budapest Airport.

Reducing carbon emissions is a key pillar of Budapest Airport’s sustainability efforts. In recognition of this, it has been awarded ACI’s carbon neutral certification for the fourth year running. In line with its objectives, the operator of Budapest Airport, thus, joined a consortium consisting of Brussels Airport, Athens Airport and Toulouse Airport, along with 18 other non-airport members.
