Travel updates: airlines to resume their flights from Budapest
Change language:
As the coronavirus crisis and the restrictions begin to ease, more and more airlines have announced that they would restart passenger service.
Travelo has gathered the latest updates about direct flights that have already resumed or will relaunch soon from Budapest.
Air France
Air France issued a press release on 19 May that its flights would restart in the first week of June: one flight a week in the first period, and this number would grow to one daily by the end of the month. By the end of June, the airline will relaunch its flights on several routes in Europe, North America, and Asia. Depending on valid travel restrictions, 75 planes will operate from the end of the month, which equals 15% of their pre-pandemic capacity. On the Budapest−Paris flights, passengers will be required to wear face masks, and they will have to undergo a body temperature measurement before boarding.
Finnair
Finnair announced on its website that it would launch some of its previously suspended flights in July. The airline is planning one flight a week to Budapest from the beginning of July, with the number gradually increasing to four a week by the end of the month.
Wizz Air
According to the latest data, Wizz Air resumed its flights from Budapest to Athens, Barcelona, Birmingham, Basel, Dortmund, Eindhoven, Gothenburg, London-Gatwick, Liverpool, London-Luton, Madrid, Stockholm-Skavsta, Sarajevo, Berlin, Podgorica, and Târgu Mureş at the beginning of May. The airline plans to increase the number of its departing flights from 21 May, but changes will depend on travel restrictions and the demand. Traffic from Debrecen will restart from 1 June.
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
The Dutch airline is also restarting flights to several European destinations. From 5 May, KLM started to operate daily flights to Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Milan, Budapest, Prague, Warsaw, and Helsinki. The previously used Boeing 737s are replaced with Embraer E190s, and flights depart daily from Amsterdam at 9.15 a.m. and arrive at Budapest at 11.15 a.m.
This information is not correct. Wizzair has not relaunched these flights from early May.
