Budapest gains crew hub as Champions League final approaches

April 20, 2026

Support capacity at the airport is increasing as operators prepare for a surge in flights due to the major European football event.

On-site Euro Jet staff are available at all times, supporting crew needs throughout their time at the airport.
The office provides seating, a fully equipped workstation, Wi-Fi, printing and refreshments for visiting crews.

Euro Jet has opened a new crew office at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport, extending its Central and Eastern European network to 19 crew lounges and offices.

The facility strengthens the company’s operational footprint in Hungary and adds dedicated support capacity for crews operating through Budapest. Its launch comes ahead of expected increases in flight movements linked to the 2026 UEFA Champions League Final on May 30.

Located in Terminal 1 opposite the General Aviation Terminal, the office provides a private environment for crew rest and work between flights. Facilities include seating, a fully equipped workstation, Wi-Fi, printing capability and refreshments, with on-site Euro Jet staff available at all times. The service is offered on a complimentary basis.

Euro Jet’s Hungary operation is led by country manager Peter Pazurek, overseeing ground service coordinators in Budapest, Debrecen and Heviz-Balaton. The team supports a broad mix of operations, from business aviation movements to high-profile event traffic, working in coordination with airport stakeholders.

The addition of the Budapest crew office enhances the team’s ability to manage peak demand periods, with a particular focus on supporting traffic associated with the Champions League Final.

“Major events such as the Champions League Final bring a high level of operational complexity,” says Peter Pazurek, Country Manager at Euro Jet. “Our team is well prepared to support this demand, with up-to-date local insight, strong relationships across the airport community and the experience needed to ensure seamless handling for our customers.”

Euro Jet is also scheduled to exhibit at AERO Friedrichshafen from April 22-25, where it will present further details on its Budapest operations and wider seasonal services, including activity along the Adriatic coast.
