Hungarian Olympic team arrives home

As Szeretlek Magyarország writes, the Hungarian Olympic team arrived at Budapest Airport yesterday afternoon, around 4 PM. The team of 180 people were flown home from Paris on a particularly special plane, adorned in a distinctive golden coating to honour the nation’s athletes who delivered exceptional performances at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Upon landing, the celebration began immediately, with the Hungarian flag proudly waved from the cockpit.

Wizz Air’s golden plane

Since May, Wizz Air passengers have had the unique opportunity to see and travel with the golden aircraft transporting Olympic athletes, as the uniquely painted plane has been operating on numerous routes across Europe and beyond. Throughout the Olympics, fans enjoyed uninterrupted travel on scheduled flights between Budapest and Paris. The golden-coloured plane will continue to grace the skies as Wizz Air, the official partner of the Hungarian Paralympic Committee, is set to transport the Hungarian Paralympic team to the XVII Paralympic Games at the end of August.
