Talk:Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport

message: I have removed the wording
However, foreigners are often cheated, and it is recommended that passengers call a reputable taxi company and wait, rather than taking a chance with a potentially problematic scammer.
Since I know of no support for it.

message: AS far as I know the airport was operating pre-war. During WW2 it was a fighter base for the defence of the capital (both day and night fighters). It was overun by the Red Army in Dec 1944.
Perhaps someone can verify these for contribution.
Secondly, unless anyone has any objections I will remove the charming reference about flying over the cemetery - a. who says its the largest?, b. Is it the only sight you will see? c. what has it got to do with the airport?
As for rough roads and dodgy taxi-drivers - it is no better or worse than any other capital city. Doesn't the new M0 motorway connect up with the airport yet?Sidney Bung (talk) 20:24, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improvment 

message: Reading through bud.hu, it would appear that the airport is no longer referring to itself as the lengthy "Budapest Ferihegy International Airport" and has opted instead for the much simpler style "Budapest Airport".
Since it is presumably not our job as Wikipedians to dictate what we think the airport should be called, shouldn't we change the article title to reflect the airport's own description of itself? 80.217.142.132 (talk) 13:33, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The way I read it, "Budapest Airport Zrt" is the company set up to run the airport. The main airport has always been called Ferihegy, although you wouldn't believe it if you read http://www.bud.hu/english/about_us/history. Cpc464 (talk) 14:04, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Hegy means hill or mountain. And Feri is some kind of name short for Ferenc I think. 97.118.63.76 (talk) 21:13, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, Ferihegy is roughly translated as Frankies Hill, which is slightly bizarre as the surrounding area is pretty flat! --Starquin (talk) 11:37, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

text: All that was said so far is correct. The second paragraph of the article explains whose name ("Ferenc (Feri) Mayerffy") it refers to. When it was named, there probably really was a hill there, but as you correctly implied Feri is a diminuative of Ferenc (i.e. Frankie) and the place was probably jokingly named. LouisBB (talk) 23:13, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Ferihegy

message: In the name Ferihegy the hegy is certainly not pronounced hedge, (Hungarians would write hedge as hedzs. For interest letter groups, like dzs have their separate place in the Hungarian alphabet, as if the English would include the th as a separate complex letter in theirs, and incidentally, the letter groups dz and dzs only earned a place in the Hungarian alphabet during the last two or three decades or so.
The function of the letter y in other comples letters is explained in the "References" of the article. In fact the intended softening purpose used with the consonants g, l, n, and t only truly applies to n and t, because gy sounds like a softened d and ly is softened to y like in York. If you fly to Ferihegy, ask the booking clerk how to pronounce the name, who ought to know. LouisBB (talk) 23:13, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hungarian pronounciation 

message: On 26th July 2010, the EU authorities revoced Budapest Ferihegy Airport's official "Schengen Clear" certification, due to serious lapses observed in personal security check procedures and unauthorised passing of banned objects.
Hungarian state news agency MTI reports here: 
Airport crew, flight crew, passengers all suffer the consequences. Some resolution is hoped for late autumn, early winter period if everything goes very much right.
Now all info is included in the expanded article. 82.131.210.163 (talk) 18:10, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ferihegy suffers major embarrassment with security lapses 

message: I know Liszt is known as Franz Liszt in English, but the official English name of the airport uses its Hungarian spelling "Ferenc". See the site of Hungary's national airline, the Hungarian news agency MTI, and Google hits of Liszt on the airport's official site.
Also, a paragraph about the name controversy should be added (about the PM firing people who pointed out that the name isn't grammatically correct in Hungarian…) – Alensha talk 19:40, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Please don't change the Name. The Name of the Airport IS "Budapest Liszt Ferenc..." and nothing else. It's not like a word witch could be translated. Its also not like a Name of a man. The official Name is "Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport". Please moove the Article to this name. Like in the German Wikipedia: de:Budapest Liszt Ferenc Flughafen Its the Same reason like for Talk: Ferenc Puskás Stadium#Name --Binningench1 (talk) 15:07, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: At the beginning of the article the text stating changes in ownership should be listed in the Public to Private ownership section of the History section. Not in the general description of the article. I mean the following text:
"On 8 December 2005, a 75% stake in Ferihegy Airport was bought by BAA plc for 464.5 billion HUF (approx. 2.1 billion USD), including the right of operation for 75 years.[2]
On 20 October 2006, BAA announced intentions to sell its stake in Budapest Airport to a consortium led by the German airports group, HOCHTIEF AirPort GmbH, subject to the consent of the Hungarian State.
On 18 April 2007, the renovation of Terminal 1 at Ferihegy was awarded Europe’s most prestigious heritage preservation prize, the Europa Nostra award. The designers, contractors, builders and investors (the latter being BA) received the joint award of the European Commission and of the pan-European heritage preservation organisation Europa Nostra for the renovation of the protected monument spaces, the central hall, the gallery and the furniture at T1.
On 6 June 2007, BAA and a consortium led by HOCHTIEF AirPort (HTA) formally closed and completed the transaction of the sale of BAA’s shares in Budapest Airport (BA) to the HOCHTIEF AirPort Consortium.
On March 16, 2011 the name of Budapest Ferihegy International Airport was changed to Budapest Franz Liszt International Airport.[3"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.82.224.116 (talk) 14:17, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
