Summer schedule: new flights, new airlines
Budflyer.blog.hu’s analysis concerns the late spring, summer and early autumn period at Budapest’s Ferenc Liszt International Airport. Traffic is promising for 2023, but the airport still struggles with a labour shortage. There are multiple reasons for that, including the government’s so-called excess profit (departure) tax and the soaring inflation in Hungary.
The new schedule will enter into effect from 26 March. Passengers will be able to travel to more than 120 destinations from Budapest Airport. More than 40 airlines will serve their needs, according to the data of the FlightConnections database. In the summer season, Budapest will see four new airlines: Air Serbia, Kuwait Airways, Air Connect, and DanAir.
Air Serbia will offer 17 flights each week, a record high number on the Budapest-Belgrade route. With their help, passengers will be able to reach Russian, American and Mediterranean destinations from Budapest with only one quick transfer in Belgrade.
The summer’s biggest surprise will be Kuwait’s national airline entering the Hungarian market. They will cover only a short period between June and September for now. The other two new partners are both Romanians. AirConnect will travel between Budapest and Bucharest, Cluj Napoca (Kolozsvár). The two Romanian cities are connected with the Hungarian capital with the flights of Tarom, Romania’s national airline, and the Hungarian Aeroexpress. DanAir will fly between Budapest and Bucharest once a week and would like to connect the Hungarian capital with Brasov (Brassó) twice a week.
