Istanbul is now available from two Hungarian cities with direct Wizz Air flights

Wizz Air has launched its first flight between Debrecen and Istanbul. 

Istanbul is the second city in Türkiye to be directly accessible from Debrecen, after Antalya. Spanning two continents, Istanbul is a unique fusion of East and West that will fascinate all visitors. Its cultural diversity, unique atmosphere, and dazzling architecture give the city a unique charm. Türkiye’s economic, cultural, and artistic center has many exciting sights and attractions. The evocative mosques, palaces, and bazaars of the past, combined with the vibrant mix of the modern metropolis, make for an unforgettable trip.

“Once again, we have reached another milestone in the airport’s life, as we welcome the launch of a new destination. We are confident of the success of the Istanbul flight, with the first flight already operating at close to 90% load factor. We are committed to making more flights available in the future to serve the travel needs of Debrecen and the region,” said Tamás Király, Managing Director of Debrecen International Airport Ltd.

“This flight development is essential from both a tourism and an economic point of view. It will provide access to the East via Istanbul Airport to any point in the world, but it will also make Debrecen a destination for tourists from all over the world. This, in turn, will enhance the quality of services in Debrecen and thus generate additional revenue for Debrecen businesses.

Due to the growing number of passengers, the airport’s improvements have come to the forefront, primarily for the comfort of passengers: we are making enhancements worth nearly HUF 600 million by installing new passenger security equipment and expanding the terminal, ” said Diána Széles, Deputy Mayor of Debrecen.

“Our routes to Türkiye are prevalent, so it is a great pleasure to launch another direct flight to Istanbul, this time from Debrecen. Together with our new flight, we now fly four different routes from Hungary to Türkiye, which shows our commitment to strengthening economic and tourism relations between the two countries. We look forward to welcoming as many passengers as possible on our flights between Debrecen and Istanbul“ – said Zsuzsa Trubek, Communications Manager of Wizz Air.
