Budapest Airport loses flight to Polish city but might get another to East Asia

Budflyer wrote that Ryanair, the Irish low-cost airline and Wizz Air’s main competitor, terminated flights between Budapest and Poznan. However, a recently published government announcement suggests Budapest might get a new flight to an important East Asian city and one of the biggest commercial hubs in the world.

According to Budflyer, Ryanair terminated the operation of the Budapest-Poznan flight. The last plane took off at the beginning of the winter season. As a result, you might reach only Warsaw Chopin, and Modlin airports directly from the Hungarian capital.

Meanwhile, the Hungarian Gazette, the official paper of the Hungarian government publishing their decrees and other decisions, wrote about a possible new flight from Budapest. According to the Gazette, there is a vacant air travel right to operate a direct flight between Hong Kong and Budapest. The applicants can submit all relevant documents to the Ministry of Construction and Transport. The right is based on an Agreed Record between China and Hungary signed on 4 June, 2018.

Based on the call for applications, multiple EU-based airlines can operate flights on the route. Passenger and cargo flights can be established, while the available frequency is 14 per week. Furthermore, the planes should not come or go from Budapest Airport, any other airport is eligible.
