JAN 20, 2005 (newstodate): Yesterday saw the last commercial IL-76 operation at Budapest Ferihegy Airport.
A Moldavian IL-76 took off from the airport to Bahrain, with a shipment of mobile phones on board.
In the future only Stage III-compliant aircrafts are allowed to operate into Budapest due to the strict noise restrictions introduced after the country's admission into the EU.
Non-commercial IL-76 operations including relief flights may continue to be operated at Budapest Ferihegy, but the airport has never generated much of this traffic, sources say.
