The leading aviation museum in Central Europe
The AEROPARK Aviation Museum is located in Budapest, next to Ferenc Liszt International Airport Terminal 2B. Its operator and developer is Légiközlekedési Kulturális Központ Közhasznú Nonprofit Kft., which was established by Hungarian pilots and artists. With its 100,000 visitors annually, it is one of the most visited exhibition spaces in Hungary, and is an airport museum providing one of the richest collections in the world. The popular airport tours behind the scenes of Ferihegy also depart from Aeropark. The history of Aeropark spans about three decades, when enthusiastic civil aviation fans achieved that when the dominant aircraft types for Hungarian air traffic were scrapped, at least 1 piece of each type got to be preserved for the future. Some of the airplanes were taken over by the Museum of Transport, however their conservation, renovations and display were performed by civil aviation enthusiasts from the beginning until today.
The exhibition displays almost the entire history of the last 70 years of Hungarian public aviation, from the Li-2 through the Tu-154, which was in service until the turn of the millennium and the L-410, which is still active today, up to an Airbus A320neo simulator, along with many pieces of airport ground service equipment. Out of the 16 aircraft and countless ground vehicles, 7 aircraft belong to the inventory of our partner, the Museum of Transport. Our flight simulators operate continuously during school holidays and weekends, allowing our visitors to try what it is like to fly an airplane. The aviation museum at Ferihegy hosts several major events and car gatherings every year. By today, in addition to the Night of Museums and the Night of the Airport, the Ferihegy Ikarus Gathering has become the event generating one of the largest interest, held on the first weekend of October and drawing 10-12 thousand visitors. In the summer, an aviation camp is held for children who are interested in the magical world of the airport and air traffic.
