Ryanair launches new flight from Budapest, international airline comes to Hungary

The Irish low-cost airline, Ryanair, is to launch a new flight from Hungary’s Budapest Airport. The first plane will take off on 29 October. Furthermore, an international airline plans to come to Budapest soon.

According to Budflyer, a Hungarian travel news Facebook page, Ryanair will launch a new flight connecting Budapest’s Ferenc Liszt International Airport and Tenerife-South (TFS). Ryanair will serve passengers with two flights per week in the winter season. This flight will be the third connecting the Canary Islands with Hungary. Ryanair operates flights to Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. HERE is our article about Hungarians cleaning up the Canary Islands.

A comment writer said the new Ryanair flight will create competition for Wizz Air. The Hungarian low-cost airline operates a flight twice a week (Monday and Friday) to Tenerife. Another would have chosen Fuerteventura instead of Tenerife as the next Ryanair destination from Budapest.

International airline plans to come to Budapest

Meanwhile, an international airline plans to extend its operation to Hungary and Budapest. Royal Air Maroc (RAM), Marocco’s national airline, would announce ambitious plans to increase its fleet and destinations. RAM would like to have 200 planes by 2037 and an annual passenger capacity of 31.6 million instead of the 7.3 million. Marocco’s national airline would like to become a global player, Budflyer wrote.

RAM would like to establish a direct air connection with the capitals of the V4 countries, including Budapest. That will happen some time between 2027 and 2037, and the planned new destinations are Budapest, Prague, Warsaw and Bucharest in our region.

Budflyer wrote that to date, neither Wizz Air nor Ryanair have tried to reopen flights to Agadir and Marrakesh on the Hungarian market, or even to launch a new flight to Casablanca, despite great demand. HERE is an interview with the Moroccan ambassador to Budapest.
