Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport is a remote tower: cameras and sensors at the airport feed controllers who work somewhere else. HungaroControl was operationally certified to provide tower services using a remote tower; operations launched in 2017 and the remote facility took over during a physical-tower upgrade.
Caveat. The vendor of the 2017 system is not named in the cited release. The Indra system is a separate, newer deployment. Current status of the Indra system is not confirmed here.
