Ryanair announces winter timetable: New routes and key changes from Budapest

Irish low-cost airline Ryanair, competitor of Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air, has published its winter timetable, revealing new routes and significant updates for flights from Budapest. Here are the most important changes and new additions.

New Ryanair routes

Firstly, two new routes have been introduced. Ryanair will begin flights to Liverpool, entering direct competition with Wizz Air. Additionally, flights to Toulouse are being reinstated; this route was previously operated by Ryanair but was discontinued two years ago, Okosutas reports.

Route discontinuations

Unfortunately, Ryanair will cease operations to Lanzarote. This leaves Budapest with connections to only two of the most well-known Canary Islands. However, Ryanair is increasing flights to Gran Canaria to three per week. Essentially, the weekly flight to Lanzarote is being shifted to Gran Canaria. The Lanzarote route will remain available until the end of October for those wishing to travel directly to the island from Budapest.

Several routes that were discontinued last winter will not be returning. This includes flights to Gothenburg, Bournemouth, and East Midlands. Although the Milan Malpensa route has resumed for the summer, it will not be available in the winter schedule. Passengers can still consider Wizz Air for this destination.
