8 new direct flights from Budapest Airport

From the second half of 2016, eight new destinations will be available without transfer from Budapest Airport; other airlines are scheduling more frequent flights, making it easier and faster to arrive in places like New York, Chicago, Miami, Punta Cana or Varadero, mmonline.hu reports.

Airberlin started their third direct flight to Berlin in March. Susanna Sciacovelli, vice president for sales at airberlin says that the new flights offer favourable alternatives for all passengers. The morning flight is suitable not only for tourists but for one-day business trips as well, or it can be used as a transfer flight to European cities like Krakow, Funchal, Faro, and Olbia, or to US destinations, such as New York City and Chicago.

Balázs Bogáts, head of flight development at the Budapest Airport says, they are expecting heavier traffic between Hungary and the USA. The new airberlin flight is significant since 130 thousand people on average travel to New York City each year, and there is an increasing interest in US cities, while Berlin remains a favourite destination among the people.
