World’s top airline returns to Budapest Airport

A Chinese airline will return to Budapest Airport, Hungary’s main airgate, soon.

Top airline flies back

According to Budflyer, a Hungarian travel news Facebook page, Hainan Airlines will return to Budapest Airport soon. The deputy director of the Chinese Civil Aviation Authority announced the decision recently. According to him, Hainan Airlines Global will operate two flights weekly from 21 June between Shenzhen and Budapest.

Shenzhen is the third most popular Chinese city behind Shanghai and Beijing. Hainan Airlines has the world’s 4th largest fleet.

Budflyer wrote that the new flight might appear in the Chinese airline’s booking system in days.

Lots of flights to China

The first plane of Shanghai Airlines between Xi’an and Budapest will take off in June. The two cities will be connected once a week. China Southern Airlines will begin its non-stop Guangzhou-Budapest route on 27 June.

As a result, we can say China will be much closer to Hungary than, for example, the United States of America. Now, there is no direct flight between the Hungarian capital and the American continent.

No chance for flights to America

The problem is probably the tense political relationship between the Hungarian and the Washington administrations. The November presidential elections might bring a change in that matter.

US Ambassador David Pressman regularly slams the Hungarian government for being pro-Russian and anti-Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Orbán cabinet highlighted they were only against NATO and EU weapons and ammunition supply, and for the start of peace negotiations with Russia.

Recently, it became apparent that the Hungarian foreign ministry was compromised several times by successful Russian cyberattacks before 2022. On the question of 444.hu whether the information the Russian hackers stole from the Hungarian foreign ministry helped them to initiate their full-scale invasion of Ukraine, FM Szijjártó’s response was something unexpected. He said the reporter’s question was beyond the “credibility limit”.

  1. It’s America that’s isolating itself, not Hungary. Pressboy thinks he can saunter into a sovereign country and dictate its domestic and international politics. Go jump in a lake, pal.

    I’m no fan of China by a long mile but at least China doesn’t demand you open your borders to millions of hostile young men from the most misogynistic, homophobic, and anti-Semitic places on the planet while you simultaneously castrate your and amputate your girls’ chests in order to “affirm” their “gender identity.”

    America’s decline may be irreversible and can only be “managed,” as St. Obama once said, but that doesn’t have to apply to us, too.

  2. Like pigs rooting for truffles, no one knows better than the brown nose.
    Reread Orwell and change a few names for the piggy faces.
    At least Hungary finally has fully embraced communism.
    Kissing and sucking…

  3. The Biden crime family is used to getting kickbacks like they got from Ukraine , Romania , China, even Russia to mention a few. Pressman is part of the DEI, LGBT BS.
    Hungary doesn’t even offer free transition Sugery for their troops. Pressman was sent as a message. Preteens have yet to offer transition with no parent consent.

  4. One thing that surprises me is why do governments get involved in deciding what plane fl99ies where?

    Does it really matter that if govt A does not like Govt B then they will not alow flights? Seems very childish behaviour to a normal adult!

  5. Well, Bruce, the bottom line is that if the route was sucessful (American Airlines tried it a couple years ago and quit), it would be here. TM and Steiner, the two biggest blowhards on here, TM makes statements about Biden that are complete lies, Steiner does the same. What a creepy couple of foreigners on here.
