Perhaps no other capital has played such a dominant role in the life of a nation as Budapest. About two million people or one-fifth of the Hungarian population lives in the capital. The Danube, which is not blue in spite of the famous waltz, determines the life of the city of Budapest, dividing it into two halves, and yet connecting both sides of the city's unfurling districts: with the Buda hills and the soft inclines of Óbuda on the left bank and the Pest plains on the right bank add to the city’s diversity. The huge economic boom in the years after the recent political changes has given a powerful boost, thus making our capital city a true and completely central European city. It’s a city where the past and the present can be found alongside each other, it can clearly seen from buildings and structures from every age and style. Hence inducing a mood which is equally amazing to visitors and those who live here.
About Euroavia’s activity in Budapest, Located in the “BUTE” (Budapest University of Technology and Economics), which is the only university in Hungary where aeronautical engineers are qualified. In the Faculty of Transportation (which is also the youngest engineering faculty of BUTE) two specializations are deal with aerospace: the classic Aircraft-engineering, and also a unique specialization in a much wider scale: The Air Transportation course.
From Hungary, Notables like…aeronautical-scientist Theodore von Kármán, Oszkár Asbóth, sr. Erno Rubik just to mention a few, has been produced. Before the political changes the ‘Pestvidéki Gépgyár’ (Hungarian company close to Budapest) was primarily a maintenance repair factory for the military MiG airplanes, and Mi helicopters beside the Warsaw-convention. After the changes, these engineering expertise and knowledge sank into the civil-aviation sector, Recent times has seen the influx of huge aerospace companies like Lufthansa Technik, and Aeroplex maintenance companies which are situated in the premises of the main international airport of Hungary called “Ferihegy airport”. This is also an airport which aims to be a major hub between the east and west of Europe, also the connection between the EU and non-EU countries; the fast growing traffic data stands as an attestment. Our AS also has an outstanding connection to both the civil, and the military aviation of Hungary, thereby giving us a much greater advantage to staying very much alive, and attaining a greater growth and stability in the future ahead.
