Coming in June: Several airlines to restart their flights from Budapest

The coronavirus pandemic has greatly affected the aviation industry, but airlines and airports hope that passenger traffic will gradually recover. At the end of April, Budapest Airport started to prepare for the restart of passenger services: the gates will be renumbered, and the information boards will also be replaced to provide better navigation on the terminals. In addition, Wizz Air has announced its schedule for May, and several flights from Budapest are planned to be resumed.

Coronavirus – Wizz Air to restart 16 flights from Budapest in May

According to the data currently available in the booking system, Wizz Air will increase the number of flights on several routes in the second half of May, but this will depend on the demand and the restrictions in place.

The airline has announced the introduction of several measures to support physical distancing during boarding and to ensure the most sanitary conditions possible. Wearing masks on board is obligatory for the crew as well as the passengers. The aircraft is cleaned thoroughly several times a day, and it is disinfected overnight. The crew will provide sanitisers to passengers at boarding. Wizz Air also asks passengers to book their flights online if it is possible and use contactless payment during onboard purchases.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the period of low passenger traffic, Budapest Airport has started to renumber the gates at Terminal 2 to promote easier navigation. Instead of the previous A, B, C, and D marks, the gates will be marked A at Terminal 2A and B at Terminal 2B, Turizmus reported. In the following weeks, the information boards at the terminal will also be replaced, and energy-saving LED technology will be used instead of the current backlight panels.
