BREAKING: Wizz Air will introduce new flights in days, new TUI flight to Budapest!

The Hungarian budget airline, Wizz Air, is expected to announce new flights after they decided to halt their Tel Aviv flights until next January. Furthermore, TUI will launch a new flight connecting Birmingham with the Hungarian capital.

Wizz Air no longer flies to Tel Aviv

According to okosutas.hu, a Hungarian air travel news outlet, Wizz Air will announce new flights in days to utilise free capacities after their decision to halt flights to Tel Aviv due to the violent conflict in the Middle East. Wizz Air was the last budget airline to end service to the Israeli capital. Other low-cost competitors announced similar decisions months ago.

Wizz Air did not make a final decision for days. They postponed many of their flights one after the other because of the security situation. Some planes arrived in Israel, others landed somewhere else. The management of the Hungarian company decided about the halt this week and said no Wizz Air flights would go to Tel Aviv until 14 January.

New flights are expected to use free capacities

The Hungarian low-cost airline will continue to serve Jordan with two flights weekly. However, okosutas.hu believes there is a chance that they will cancel them just before departure, as they did in the case of their Tel Aviv flights. In the last few weeks, Wizz Air cancelled all their flights, but they plan to depart on Friday.

CEO József Váradi said in Warsaw before the Israel decision that provided they had to abandon the country, they would shift extra capacities to other routes. Wizz Air needs to utilise its seats as much as possible during the end-of-the-year peak, which lasts 2.5 weeks.

As a result, okosutas.hu expects Wizz Air to launch new flights and increase frequencies on popular routes. They added the changes might rewrite the airline’s winter schedule.

New TUI flight to Budapest

From 11 May 2025, TUI Airways plans to launch a new flight between Birmingham and Budapest. The planes will commute once a week on Mondays. TUI launched two new routes between Hungary and the United Kingdom this year. They carry passengers from Manchester and London Gatwick for the Danube boat cruises to Budapest. The two services will restart next April.
