New flight will connect Budapest and France

Air Corsica, the flag carrier of the French insular region of Corsica, announced a new flight between Budapest and the French island.

Air Corsica‘s head airport is in Ajaccio, the birthplace of Napoléon Bonaparte, who the airgate was named after. The main scope of the airline is to operate planes between mainland France and the island. However, they decided to open up to other regions, including Budapest, Hungary’s astonishing capital. We wrote HERE that Debrecen may become the second capital of Hungary.

Turizmus.com, a Hungarian travel news outlet, said the Corsican flag carrier will launch a new flight between the island and Budapest in December. Unfortunately, only one pair of flights will commute between the two places. The aim is to bring Corsican tourists to the famous Christmas fairs in Budapest. We wrote HERE that Budapest has the best Christmas fair in Europe. Thus, it is not surprising that even Napoléon’s late descendants would like to visit Hungary.

The Corsican airline will carry 180 passengers to Hungary with an Airbus A320 plane. The flight will depart on 13 December from Ajaccio and fly back on 16 December. The return ticket costs EUR 299, which is considerably high. Apart from Budapest, they offer similar Christmas fair flights to Köln, Munich and Cracow in December.
