New flights and summer-like record at Budapest Airport during the Easter holidays
Change language:
Airportal.hu reports that there is an extremely busy flow of passengers at Budapest Airport during this year’s Easter period – the numbers resemble the summer peak. Over 40 thousand passengers departed and arrived at Budapest on both Thursday and Friday.
As it is a custom during most holidays, a lot of Hungarians who work abroad came home to celebrate the spring holiday with their families. Still, quite a number of Hungarians decided to travel abroad and spend Easter somewhere else. The third type of flow was represented by foreigners who arrived in Hungary either to visit relatives or simply to travel.
Even though the 2018 summer timetable was introduced just a couple of days ago at the Budapest Airport, there are already new flights announced.
Four new routes were introduced last week, and the first overseas flights will take off in early May.
You can fly from Budapest from the Bay of Biscay all the way to Norway, which will take off according to the summer timetable that set in this weekend. It is now a custom to align the changes in the timetable according to the daylight saving time, as there are significantly fewer flights operated in the winter season.
Aside from the new flights introduced by the Budapest Airport, several airlines announced that – thanks to the high demand – they will increase the number of the already operating flights. A consequence of this is that in the period between the end of March and end of October, there will be almost 500 thousand more seats available than in the same period last year.
