Schengen rules apply from March - Budapest Ferihegy Airport
Schengen rules apply from March
Although Hungary joined the Schengen zone on 21 December, 2007 the traffic changes at Budapest Airport – similarly to all other airports in the region - will take affect on 30 March, 2008. In practice it means that the control of travel documents will go on unchanged until the end of March.
Budapest Airport would be ready to implement the requirements and physically separate the Schengen and non-Schengen passengers as soon as the first day of 2008. Due to international agreements the new procedures of passenger traffic will change uniformly at all new Schengen-airports on the first day of the aviation summer timetable.
