The world opens up with 141 destinations: new planes from this Hungarian international airport
New planes will carry passengers from Debrecen International Airport to Munich, based on a Hungarian news outlet. Munich is a five-star international airport with 141 destinations, including Transatlantic metropolises.
According to portfolio.hu, BMW Group signed the relevant contract with Lufthansa. Based on that, the German airline will increase capacities from the East Hungarian city with bigger Airbus planes on Mondays and Fridays. The first such plane landed on Friday.
More passengers between Munich and Debrecen
The Airbus A321neo aircraft commuting on the route can carry 215 passengers, Johannes Walter, the deputy president of the Lufthansa Group, announced. He arrived on board one of the new planes to Debrecen on Friday.
He expressed happiness that the new planes will carry hundreds of engineers and innovation managers between the Bavarian and Hungarian cities. Thus, the agreement signed is a long-term one.
Passengers can get from Munich to Debrecen in just 1.5 hours with the new planes. That route via Budapest would take 3-3.5 hours. Thus, we can say that a direct flight helps the operation of the BMW plant in Debrecen considerably.
