Name: Budapest Airport

In 1938 the conception of building a new airport in Budapest entered on the agenda. The area in the boundary of three settlements, Pestszentlorinc-Rakoshegy-Vecses, was assigned as the area of the new airport. The Airport was intended as one jointly for civil-military-sporting purposes. Civil facilities were designed to be built up in the north-western and military ones in the south-western section. Just as for each building, a public tender was invited for the designing and construction of the traffic building.

Required Action

- Ask to revise Pristina, Serbia to Pristina, Kosovo

We suggest changing the email subject above according to your preference.

Dear Madam/Sir, I take this opportunity to draw your attention that, at the moment your reputable Budapest Airport has wrongly listed Pristina under Serbia on its website. We would profoundly appreciate if you would kindly address our request and place Pristina under Kosovo on your website’s passenger info system: http://www.bud.hu/english/passengers/flight_information/destinations As you might be aware, Kosovo is a new country so far recognized as independent by the majority of members of the United Nations, including the United States, United Kingdom and the majority of European Union countries. Kosovo has also become a member of intergovernmental bodies including the World Bank and IMF. Leading Internet properties such a LinkedIn and Twitter have now added Kosovo to their menus. Legally, Kosovo had its independence confirmed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The ICJ on 22 of July 2010 concluded on its decision “that the adoption of the declaration of independence of 17 February 2008 did not violate general international law, Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) or the Constitutional Framework. Consequently the adoption of that declaration did not violate any applicable rule of international law.” (see para. 122 of the Court’s decision: http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/141/15987.pdf). The unambiguous wording of the ICJ, a principle organ of the United Nations, is the primary reference when considering any issue with regard to Kosovo’s statehood and its place in international relations. Your supportive response would be of invaluable help to overcome a technological barrier that affects passengers attempting to utilize online service as they seek to accommodate their journey to Kosovo. On behalf of our supportive institutions and our initiative, I avail myself of this opportunity to thank you for supporting travelers to Kosovo in facilitating their journey constantly at your airport. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you need further information on this matter. Yours Cordially,

+ = (Are you human, or spambot ? Enter sum of numbers.)
