Santa Claus visits Budapest

6 January 2022

Before his busiest night of the year, Santa Claus visited the Budapest team. The event was hosted by Aeropark at Budapest Liszt Ferenc Airport (Airplane Museum), so the event could be held in a safe outdoor environment.

The day began with an interactive Santa Claus search where the kids had to search for hidden envelopes from Santa and solve puzzles before moving to the next station. The last puzzle was to find the plane where Santa was waiting for them.

A magician kept the little ones (and the big ones!) entertained with card tricks, while they were waiting to meet Santa, while older children were able to get to know and try out the work of flight attendants in a playful show. Airport firefighters took the brave kids and adults for a ride on the famous airport fire truck called Simba.

Before the event, the team also held a drawing competition with six winners selected to receive a certificate and small prize from the senior management team in Hungary.

You can watch the video to see the highlights of the event.
