New Ryanair flight to coastal city from Budapest, Scandinavian Airlines returns to Budapest

In the 2025 summer season, Hungarian passengers will be able to travel from Budapest to Zadar, one of the most romantic coastal cities in Croatia. Furthermore, Scandinavian Airlines returned to Budapest Airport today.

New Ryanair flight four times a week

According to Budflyer, a Hungarian air travel news Facebook page, you can travel from Croatia to 122 foreign destinations, and traffic at Croatian airports is expected to break records. It is good news for passengers travelling from Hungary that Ryanair, the Irish budget airline, will resume its Zadar route from 1 June. The planes are planned to carry passengers until 30 September, four times a week.

Scandinavian Airlines returns after 10 years

Meanwhile, Scandinavian Airlines returned to Budapest after leaving us in 2015. The Copenhagen-Budapest flight was announced last year. However, the airline will provide a much greater capacity on the route than planned. As a result, five flights will commute between the two capitals each week in September and October.

Record passenger traffic expected at Budapest Airport in 2025

Budapest Airport’s operator talked about 18.5 million passengers for 2025 at a conference organised by the Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC). In 2024, traffic reached 17.6 million, exceeding expectations. In January, there were 1.3 million passengers, while that number was 1.25 million in February at Budapest Airport. That is an 18% and a 13% growth in an annual comparison.
