More frequent flights from Budapest to important Asian destinations
Change language:
There are more and more destinations available from the Hungarian capital. Now, Shanghai Airlines is expanding its services by opening a new route to Budapest. Flights from Ningbo to Budapest and back are available this summer. Further expansion is on the agenda.
As Airportal has reported, Budapest Airport and Shanghai Airlines are working on operating more flights between Hungary and China. At some point, 10 flights per week will be available between the two countries. The new destination added to the network is Ningbo. The first scheduled Ningbo–Budapest flight took off last night.

Flights to Ningbo
The city of Ningbo is inhabited by roughly 9.4 million people and is located in the Yangtze Delta region, in the north-eastern part of Zhejiang province in China. The flights to Ningbo were opened in two phases. As a test run, two pairs of charter flights tested the route between Ningbo and the Hungarian capital on the 29th of May and the 5th of June.
In the second phase, one flight every Monday operated on this route. From the 12th of June, this became a regular scheduled flight. The flight lands in Budapest at 9:40 PM and departs to Ningbo at 11:55 PM. If everything goes according to plans, there will be flights scheduled on Thursdays as well. This would mean two flights a week to the Chinese destination.
