Budapest Airport is delighted to announce another momentous re-enhancement in its route network development, with the return of Shanghai Airlines, in partnership with China Eastern Airlines. Relaunching a direct link between Budapest and Shanghai on 11 November, the two cities will initially be connected weekly on Fridays.

“Shanghai, on China’s central coast, is the country's biggest city and a global financial hub, so the return of this operation is a significant boost for the Budapest-Asia market, as well as making the region accessible again,” says Balázs Bogáts, Head of Airline Development, Budapest Airport. “Shanghai Airlines joined us in 2019 and witnessed rapid demand in the market, signifying Budapest’s global popularity.
