DIMOS to Launch Phase 2 Cargo Expansion at Budapest Airport
DIMOS is set to begin Phase 2 of its cargo infrastructure project at Budapest Airport in summer 2026, supporting the continued development and capacity growth of the airport’s cargo operations.
The expansion follows a successful first phase delivered in 2024, which included the installation of castor decks alongside mobile and stationary equipment to enhance cargo handling efficiency.
End-to-End System Integration Across Cargo Operations
Acting as system provider, DIMOS is responsible for the full project scope, including planning, retrofitting and integration of equipment into ongoing airport operations.
At the Budapest site, the company is combining truck docks, castor decks and specialised system components to support air cargo processes from landside through to airside.
The project spans multiple operational areas, covering both outdoor handling zones and internal terminal logistics, ensuring seamless connectivity across the entire cargo flow.
Phase 2 to Increase Capacity Within Existing Infrastructure
Building on the foundations established in Phase 1, the second phase will focus on increasing capacity within the existing infrastructure while maintaining operational continuity.
DIMOS’s responsibilities include consulting, concept development, layout design, construction planning, installation, commissioning and ongoing support—delivered through a single integrated approach.
By combining mechanical systems, controls and service from one provider, the project reduces operational complexity, minimises interface risks and improves overall efficiency.
Improving Efficiency and Throughput
The integrated system is designed to:
-
Reduce bottlenecks at loading bays
-
Minimise manoeuvring times
-
Optimise use of available space
-
Enhance throughput and operational flow
The expansion will also increase ULD handling capacity and support faster processing times across the cargo terminal.
Driven by Demand and Operational Performance
The decision to proceed with Phase 2 reflects strong results from the initial implementation, including high equipment reliability and consistent operational performance.
DIMOS systems are designed for 24/7 operations, with a focus on long-term uptime, predictable maintenance and resilience in handling fluctuating cargo volumes at a major European hub.
Pascal Schütz, Managing Director of DIMOS, said the project demonstrates the importance of combining robust technology with efficient process integration to support scalable growth.
Strengthening Budapest’s Cargo Hub Position
With Phase 2 underway, Budapest Airport is further strengthening its position as a key air cargo hub in Central and Eastern Europe.
The continued development of the site, supported by DIMOS’s integrated approach, will enhance operational reliability, increase capacity and ensure the airport can meet growing demand in the global air cargo market.
