BUD70 (Part 2) - The place where even concrete glows. The surface, which must withstand the impact of machines weighing hundreds of tons. Ferihegyen two, so-called there is a bayonet system runway to serve departing and arriving flights. One is 3009 meters long, the other 3707 meters long. But what's under the concrete? How often should the runways of a busy airport be renovated? How to remove burnt rubber from the surface? How many kilos of rubber are actually vulcanized on the concrete during each landing? What do the special markings on the tracks reveal? And why aren't these concrete strips called tracks 1 and 2? What does the name 13R/31L and 13L/31R mean? We talk about this with Zoltán Ormándi, Budapest Airport's airport traffic manager. (Editor: Balázs Kránitz)
