Budapest Airport summer schedule brings important changes: here are the details

The summer schedule will start at the end of March at Budapest Airport, bringing some crucial changes concerning the flights Irish Ryanair and Hungarian Wizz Air operate. A Hungarian media outlet collected everything you should know.

Budapest Airport’s summer schedule starts in March

According to okosutas.hu, a Hungarian travel-focused media outlet, Wizz Air, the Hungary-based low-cost airline considered by many as our flag carrier, terminated operation on the Budapest-Salerno route before the schedule change. The last flight to the Italian city departed last Friday from Budapest Airport. The good news is that the first flight to Venice’s main airport will take off on 8 March. Meanwhile, the budget airline’s route to Skopje will also be terminated, with the last flight departing on 9 March.

As we wrote before, one of the oldest of Ryanair’s routes from Budapest to Billund, Denmark, will be discontinued at the end of March due to increased airport fees at the Danish airport. Last autumn, a similar price hike led to the closure of the Warsaw-Modlin route, which will return this year.

Ryanair will start a brand-new route to Castellón, Spain, from the end of March. Interestingly, Wizz Air had operated a flight on that route before, but it was discontinued last year. The Irish low-cost airline will restart its Lanzarote flight, which underwent a winter hiatus (Okosutas wrote that winter was the best time to visit the Canary Islands).

New Ryanair and Wizz Air flights

Just like last year, flights between Budapest, Göteborg and East Midlands were only paused for the winter and will resume at the end of the month. Another Ryanair flight restarting this month is Amman (Jordan), which was suspended due to the outbreak of the war in the Middle East. Most summer routes will start in June, but Mallorca begins in March, providing a direct connection from Budapest from Easter.

Wizz Air will not introduce new routes from Budapest at the end of this month. The Hungarian low-cost airline will not fly to Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in the summer, but will return at the end of October. From Debrecen International Airport, only the London route remained for the winter, but in the summer schedule, Lárnaka (Cyprus) will also return.
