Easyjet discontinues popular flights from Budapest

According to the latest decision of the British low-cost airline, EasyJet will operate fewer flights from Budapest next summer than this winter. However, a Hungarian air travel-focused media outlet believes that the reason is simple: they can make more profit in the summer by sending the planes elsewhere than by letting them stay in Budapest.

Based on okosutas.hu, EasyJet will have fewer flights from Budapest next summer than in winter. The decision comes after the British company decided to suspend their Paris and Lyon flights from Budapest during the summer period and reintroduce them only in the winter schedule in 2025.

That may be strange since summer is the European peak season of tourism. EasyJet has probably decided to suspend flights in the summer timetable because their planes can make more profit on other routes than if they stay in Budapest.
