The airport won the Skytrax Best Eastern European airport prize three times in a line (2014-2016).

From June 2015, the transatlantic were restored with two carriers flying to Toronto and Montreal. In 2016, the airport handled 11.4 million passengers. In 2012 it has experienced a significant drop in aircraft movements and handled cargo, primarily due to the collapse of Malev Hangarian airlines earlier in the year, hence losing a large portion of connecting passengers. It was the hub for Malév until the airline’s bankruptcy on 3 February 2012, when at 6 am Malév ceased its operations after almost 66 years of service. Before its closure, the airline had more than one third of the air traffic at the airport,and about 40% of the revenues at Budapest airport originated from Malév operations. The airport serves as a base for Ryainair and the hub for the Hungarian low-cost airliner, Wizz Air.
