Air China relaunches flight from Budapest!

Air China, the world’s second-biggest economy’s national airline, planned to relaunch one of its crucial flights from Budapest this November. But that plan changed significantly and many will be happy because of the modification.

According to budflyer.blog.hu, Air China planned to relaunch their Beijing-Budapest direct flight in November. However, that plan was overruled and the flight will take off first on 19 June. The Chinese national airline deleted their weekly flight this February from their booking system. They relaunched it in March for a short while. But from 19 June, they will operate two flights per week. The plane will come from Beijing to Budapest and return to the Chinese capital the same day. It will commute on Mondays and Fridays.

Instead of the previous late-night flights, these will arrive at Budapest Airport in the early morning. Thus, they will be useful for business trips. On Mondays and Fridays, planes will take off at 2.50 AM in Beijing and land in Budapest at 7.50 AM. After a 4.30-hour-long break, they will return to China, taking off at 12.20 PM and landing in Beijing at 4.20 am the next day. Beijing is +6 hours to the East of Budapest. That means the direct flight time will be approximately 10 hours.

More flights weekly

The Chinese national airline will use Airbus A330-200-type planes on the route again. Thanks to this new route, Air China will operate three flights between China and Budapest. The third flies to Chongqing, the fourth largest city in China with an urban population of 16.34 million, until the end of the summer season. Furthermore, there will be flights to Shanghai, raising the weekly flight number to six.
