Commenting on the season ahead, Balázs Bogáts, Head of Airline Development, Budapest Airport says: “Once again, we have a blistering summer schedule launching this weekend. We’re almost as connected as we were before the pandemic and we continue to build on this, and more. Budapest remains a dynamically progressive airport, and we encourage frequency increases with all our airline partners as we ourselves focus on Budapest as a popular destination and the numerous opportunities available.”
