Wizz Air’s using the Zaventem airport will make travelling to Brussels much easier. Until now, passengers have only been able to reach the Belgian capital via Charleroi Airport, 46 kilometres from Brussels. Brussels Airport is much closer, just 12 kilometres from the heart of the city, the airline said in a statement sent to Daily News Hungary.

Tickets are available on Wizz Air’s website and its mobile application.

“We are confident that even after Hungary’s EU presidency, we will continue to offer a wide range of services, providing passengers travelling between the two capitals with more travel options, competitive ticket prices and a boost to tourism between the two countries,” said Máté Ritter, Head of Flight Development at Budapest Airport.

“This summer, we have six new routes from Budapest to offer our passengers, two of which were launched at the beginning of June. Brussels is a popular destination, which will be much easier to reach using the new airport,” added Zsuzsa Trubek, Wizz Air’s Communications Manager.

Wizz Air is constantly striving to expand its route network, as evidenced by the launch of a new direct flight. The airline will also add two new modern Airbus A321neo aircraft to its Budapest base in June 2024 and will add five new flights connecting Budapest with Europe and beyond this summer. Travellers will be able to fly to Stuttgart and Valencia this summer, and will soon be able to fly direct to Brasov, Bucharest and Yerevan.
