Budapest Airport in discussion to open Canadian, US flights

Budapest Airport is in discussions to launch long-haul flights, primarily between the United States and Canada and Budapest, but discussions are ongoing concerning destinations in Southeast Asia as well, the airport wrote on their official website.

Budapest Airport, part of the VINCI Airports network, supports the airport’s continued growth in passenger numbers with a strategy built on diversification. The strategy aims to densify the network, both by attracting new destinations and by expanding the number of airlines flying to existing destinations, enabling passengers to select the most suitable service on their chosen route, the airport wrote on bud.hu.

Six new flights announced at Budapest Airport

Budapest Airport has announced the launch of six new flights since the beginning of the year, both to new and existing destinations. The number of available flights between the UK and Hungary is increasing; in October, Jet2.com’s new flights to East Midlands Airport and Newcastle will primarily support inbound tourism, giving British tourists the opportunity to discover Hungary. Together with these, Jet2.com will operate flights to six destinations between Budapest and the UK this winter.

EasyJet is also diversifying, offering passengers direct, low-cost flights to two beautiful French cities, Bordeaux and Nantes, in its 2025 winter schedule, further strengthening Budapest’s direct air links with French cities.

In January, Budapest Airport announced the launch of Jazeera Airways’ Kuwait City service at the beginning of June, which will primarily boost inbound tourism, strengthening tourism to Hungary through connecting flights, but also benefiting those who wish to explore India and the South Asian region. Kuwait is the seventh Middle Eastern destination accessible from Budapest with direct flights, along with Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Israel, Jordan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
