Budapest Airport offers 107 destinations, plans to launch these Transatlantic flights

According to the Budapest Airport’s Airline Development Account Manager, the airgate will exceed 2019 traffic next year. Until then, they plan a lot of developments. In the winter season, Hungary’s main airgate will offer 107 destinations with 36 airlines. Furthermore, they plan to launch several Transatlantic and East Asian flights.

According to turizmus.com, Dávid Kaszab, Budapest Airport’s Airline Development Account Manager, talked about present successes and plans for the annual workshop of the airport. The partakers were the representatives of airlines and travel agencies. Mr Kaszab said that until 2019, the increase in passenger numbers was dynamic. COVID meant a break in that trend, but the airport plans to exceed the 2019 peak next year.

Kaszab added some destinations like Dubai, Tel-Aviv and Istanbul, which exceeded the 2019 passenger traffic level. Meanwhile, the number of passengers to Frankfurt or Brussels has not broken that record yet.

In winter season, 107 destinations will be reachable from Budapest with 36 airlines. Among others, you will be able to travel to South Korea (LOT), and Shanghai (China Eastern). Ryanair will fly to three additional destinations (Tenerife, Birmingham and Alicante), while Wizz Air chose Copenhagen, Sharm Es-Sheikh and Cairo’s brand-new airport.
