Beware! Budapest Airport shuttle service changes from today!
The Budapest airport shuttle service is changing today due to the revamp of the junction of the M4 motorway and the Budapest Airport expressway.
Travelling to Budapest Airport will be different
We wrote HERE that the fourth phase of the city centre–airport expressway’s reconstruction started on 22 April. As a result, cars coming from Budapest will only be able to use one lane instead of two in the junction connecting the airport with the M4 motorway. Furthermore, the roadwork will seriously affect the route of the 100E and 200E airport shuttles from today.
According to the Budapest Transport Centre (BKK), the slip road of the Budapest Airport will be closed between 27 and 30 April. Therefore, airport shuttles will commute on a modified route.

The closure started at 7 AM today and is planned to end at 7 PM. Authorities redirect traffic to the slip road of the M4 Üllő/M0 junction, and you may travel to Budapest by turning back at the 3101 junction (Vecsés-Ecser).
Airport shuttles 100E and 200E will stop at Vecsés, Market Central Ferihegy station, instead of Vecsés, Nyugat during the roadworks.
Budapest-India direct flight on the horizon?
Based on airportal.hu, the National Transport Authority (NKH) has received a bid to operate a direct passenger flight between Budapest and India’s Mumbai from an unnamed airline. The authority operates under Hungary’s Construction and Transport Ministry. The media outlet reminded the readers that there is a bilateral agreement between Hungary and India about direct flights connecting the two countries. Even so, there are no passenger flights yet between Hungary and the South Asian state.

Based on the ministry’s announcement, another airline can submit a plea for operating a flight between Budapest and Mumbai until 23 May. The process does not necessarily mean a flight will begin to carry passengers between the two countries. It is just the first step to do so sometime in the future.
