New European destination available from Budapest this autumn

The international airport of Brassó/Brasov – Vidombák has opened recently. Wizz Air is already active at the airport since it launched a flight connecting Brasov and London. However, an unnamed airline will begin service between the Central Romanian town and the Hungarian capital in autumn. Many things are still unclear about the route, but below you may read what we know.

The Brassó-Vidombák international airport was completed weeks ago, but there are already two airlines offering routes for locals. Hungarians regard the airport important. That is because a Hungarian community lives in Szeklerland, Central Romania, a few kilometres North of the airgate. For them, that opportunity can mean a much easier and cheaper travel opportunity to Hungary, provided a direct flight is established.

Levente Magyar, Hungary’s foreign affairs secretary, said there would be such a flight. However, he did not share details. Before the opening, Dan Air, a new Romanian airline, promised to carry passengers between Hungary and Brasov, but they backed down even before the launching of the first flight.

Apart from charter flights to Türkiye and Greece, Dan Air and Wizz Air operate scheduled flights from the airport. Wizz started its service on Wednesday and will fly to London to carry Romanian and Hungarian guest workers to the UK capital.
