New Hungarian airline to start operation soon
The airline, which has been taking shape since May, could embark on its first flight this December using a plane currently operated by Wizz Air, Index reports.
Despite earlier recruitment efforts in the spring, visitors to the company’s website are currently met with an empty page, with just over a month left before the airline’s anticipated launch.
According to Cargo Facts, Hungary Airlines, previously known as Hungary Cargo Airlines (HCA), is close to obtaining the necessary regulatory approval to operate commercial aircraft.
The company plans to use an Airbus A330–200F, which will fly under the new brand starting from December. This cargo aircraft, built in 2014, is powered by Trent 700 engines and was previously operated by Qatar Airways. The Hungarian government purchased the plane in 2020 and later leased it to Wizz Air.
