"If disaster strikes, it will be irreversible" – the residents of Fertőrákos fear for the water supply that ensures the needs of a hundred thousand people due to the planned airport development.

The Piuspuszta airport near Fertőrákos has become a focal point of controversy after a developer purchased it for expansion. Local officials are concerned about its impact on the nearby water supply, as the airport is located close to sensitive water protection areas. The developer, Krisztián Fettik, argues that the airport will serve sports and tourism purposes, with plans for training foreign students and hosting events. Despite the ongoing debate about the airport's operational history, Fettik claims that the necessary infrastructure is mostly in place. The regional water authority has expressed concerns regarding the airport's proximity to protected water sources, leading to strict regulations for its development.
