Huge delay at Budapest Airport: Many could miss the Hungary-Switzerland match

Today is the second day of the European Championship, and Hungary and Switzerland are playing this afternoon. For the time being, it looks like a huge delay at Budapest Airport may cause many people to miss the game.

Huge delay at Budapest Airport

Wizz Air flight W62291 Budapest-Dortmund is expected to depart from Budapest on Saturday with a two-hour delay, Index reports. Several Hungarian fans have also booked tickets for the flight. They are on their way to Cologne, about 100 kilometres from the landing point, for the Hungary-Switzerland match which starts at 3 PM.

Máté Szabó of Sport TV reported about this on his X-site (formerly Twitter), Nemzeti Sport noticed. Szabó later learned that a flight arriving from London to Budapest was going on to Dortmund.

“Organising a “fan flight” to a Hungarian match like this is a bad decision, to say the least,” he added.

He wrote “This morning’s Dortmund-Budapest Wizz Air flight full of Hungarian fans was delayed by 2 hours… I know what I would do in such a situation for excellent PR if I were the company: I would send buses to the airport to take people with tickets to the match to Cologne…”
