New Wizz flight between Hungary and Africa?

The Hungarian Parliament discussed a bill on Thursday about the announcement of an air traffic agreement between the governments of Hungary and Rwanda.

According to Budflyer, the government believes the agreement would help strengthen the ties between Africa and Hungary. Péter Ágh, a secretary of the construction and transport ministry, said the Rwandan cabinet established contact with the Hungarian government on the issue, and a Rwandan airline would like to serve the route. However, it needs a bilateral agreement to do so. Such an agreement would allow to establish connections for transporting goods and passengers between all of the two countries’ airports.

Sándor F. Kovács from the parliamentary group of the governing Fidesz party added that Hungary signed cooperation agreements with twenty African countries in the past few years. Therefore, the government’s Eastern and Southern opening is successful. We wrote HERE how Hungary helps Chad, one of the poorest countries in the world, probably because that is how Orbán courts Marcon, whose last regional ally is Chad.

Budlflyer reminded that Hungary could renew its air traffic agreement with Ethiopia. As a result, Budapest Airport and Ethiopian Airlines are in talks concerning a direct flight connection between the two countries.

We wrote HERE that Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister, recommended Wizz Air, Hungary’s low-cost carrier, to create a direct flight between Budapest and Armenia’s capital, Yerevan. It might happen that a similar scheme will be followed in the case of Rwanda after the bilateral agreement is signed.
