Hungary to rename main airport after Franz Liszt

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary's main international airport will be renamed after 19th-century Hungarian composer and piano virtuoso Franz Liszt.

Hungarian lawmakers approved a bill Wednesday changing the name of Budapest's Ferihegy International Airport to Liszt Ferenc International Airport, as the musician is known in Hungarian.

This year is the 200th anniversary of Liszt's birth in the village of Doborjan, western Hungary, now Raiding, Austria.
