Commenting on the announcement, Balázs Bogáts, CCO, Budapest Airport says: “We are excited about Wizz Air’s expansion at Budapest Airport, which is testimony to the attractiveness of our airport and the collaborative spirit we uphold with our airline partners. Despite Wizz Air’s recent industry challenges and the prediction of network-wide flat growth, our airport is seen as a key player in development plans and with two new based aircraft, this is not only reinforced but also brings novel route options and increased frequency for our passengers.” Bogáts adds: “Our new routes with Wizz Air further solidify our commitment to provide our passengers with an array of travel options. These destinations will cater to a diverse range of interests, and we look forward to welcoming both leisure and business travellers on these fantastic new routes.”
