Renewed agreement: more flights between Hungary and popular destination

Thanks to a new air transport agreement, more flights between Hungary and Turkey will be available in the future.

In the presence of Hungarian and Turkish officials, a new aviation agreement was signed in Turkey recently, Budflyer reported based on Turkish news portal Gökyüzü Haberci (“Sky Messenger”).

The new agreement will further strengthen and intensify cooperation in the field of civil aviation. Moreover, it will provide opportunities for airlines from both countries to offer even more flights to travellers between Hungary and Türkiye in the future.

The number of direct flights between Hungary and Türkiye has increased significantly in recent years. At the same time, Turkish flights accounted for the largest share of passenger traffic at Budapest Airport in the first half of the year, Budflyer wrote.

Scheduled flights from Budapest currently operate to Istanbul’s two main airports, and Antalya and Izmir. In addition, Türkiye may soon be available from Debrecen as well, as an application has been received for the acquisition of the unused air traffic rights on the Debrecen-Istanbul route (read our article for more details HERE).

However, the biggest missing route that has been left unused for years and is often discussed is the Budapest-Ankara line. If everything goes well, this line could also get an operator in the near future.
