New flight may connect Budapest and Türkiye
Turkish Airlines celebrated the 25th anniversary of establishing a regular direct flight connection between Türkiye and Hungary. The Turkish air carrier expressed its commitment to connect the two capitals with a direct flight soon.
According to turizmus.com, the celebration took place in Budapest’s magnificent Matild Palace. We wrote about the hotel HERE and HERE since it won prestigious international awards shortly after its opening. In THIS article, you may check out some photos of the “most luxurious place” in Budapest.
Yahya Zahid Sensoy, the leader of the airline’s advocacy in Hungary, welcomed the guests and passed word to the Turkish ambassador, Gülşen Karanis. You may read our interview with her HERE.
She said she travelled to Germany via Budapest 25 years ago as an exchange student. She used Malév’s regular flights and never thought that Turkish Airlines, a small carrier then, would become Europe’s best airline. She reminded the attendants that Turkish Airlines operated flights to 120 countries’ 300 destinations.

Hungary’s foreign minister also talkes about more Türkiye-Hungary connections
She expressed her hopes that there would be a direct flight connection between Ankara and Budapest soon. The odds are favourable because Hungary and Türkiye celebrated the centenary of establishing diplomatic ties between the two states and carried out multiple cultural projects.
Then, the airline’s vice-president responsible for South Europe greeted the guests and said that Turkish Airlines and its subsidiary, AnadoluJet, connects Budapest and Istanbul with 24 flights/week.
As we wrote HERE, Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister, said before that Turkish Airlines was a key player in Hungary’s civil aviation market, and the airline would focus even more on Hungary in the future. That is another sign that there will be more connections between the two countries soon.
