Safety - Hungary – PRB Annual Monitoring Report

Safety - Hungary

PRB monitoring

In 2025, HungaroControl achieved the planned maturity levels set out in its performance plan for all five components of the EoSM.
The rate of runway incursions (RI) was 1.45 and equal to the RIs with ANS contribution, with the former indicator below the Union-wide average while the latter above. The rate of runway incursions at both levels has increased compared to 2024, when Hungary reported 0 RIs.
The rate of separation minima infringements (SMI) was 2.00 at State level and equal to the SMIs at ANSP level, with both indicators below Union-wide average. The rates of SMIs was stable compared to 2024.

Effectiveness of Safety Management (EoSM) (KPI#1)

Focus on EoSM

In 2025, HungaroControl achieved the planned maturity levels set out in its performance plan for all five components of the EoSM.

As described in the monitoring report, Hungary notes that HungaroControl runs a five-year safety development plan, and the activities outlined within support achieving target levels across all components by the end of the reference period.

Focus on runway incursions

Hungary reported 2 runway incursions (RI) at Budapest airport during 2025. When comparing the RIs at airport level to Union-wide level, Hungary was below the Union-wide average (1.45 vs 2.70).

Hungary reported 2 RIs with ANS contribution in 2025. When comparing airport level with ANS contribution to the Union-wide level, Hungary was above the Union-wide average (1.45 vs 0.87).

The rate of runway incursions at both levels has increased compared to 2024, when Hungary reported 0 RIs.

The monitoring report does not list any initiatives implemented or planned to improve either the RI or SMI performance indicators. However, according to the report, the NSA intends to monitor through occurrence reporting, EoSM.

Focus on separation minima

At State level, Hungary reported 8 separation minima infringements (SMI) in their airspace during 2025. The rate of separation minima infringements was below the Union-wide average (2.00 vs 7.87). At ANSP level, Hungary reported 8 SMIs with ANS contribution. The rate of separation minima infringements at ANSP level was below the Union-wide average (2.00 vs 6.02).

When comparing to 2024, the rate of separation minima infringements was stable at both State level (2.00 vs 2.09) and at ANSP level (2.00 vs 1.9).
