the airport of Faro and the largest airline in Eastern Europe, Wizz Air, inaugurated, on April 1st, the new route Faro-Budapest, with aircraft baptism on arrival and offers to passengers for the inaugural flight.
The brand new route to Budapest (Hungary) starts with a weekly frequency, on Tuesdays, until the 20th of June, and from that date onwards it will have two weekly flights, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
This new service to Budapest will be served by an Airbus A320 and will represent, in the total for this operation to the Algarve, an offer of over 15.000 seats and more than 80 movements.
Wizz Air, which operates more than 450 routes and 120 destinations from 28 bases in Europe, carried more than 20M passengers in 2016.
For Wizz Air, it is with great enthusiasm that they start a regular service in Faro, becoming the 3rd airport served by the airline in Portugal, which already operated from Lisbon and Porto to Budapest and other destinations in Eastern Europe.
Gabor Vasarhelyi, Communications Director at Wizz Air, said, at the time, that “the satisfaction with which it is inaugurated is enormous. Faro-Budapest, hoping that the Hungarian search for the Algarve can benefit tourism and hospitality in the Algarve and simultaneously provide direct accessibility from the region to all Portuguese who wish to visit one of the most beautiful and dynamic capitals of Central Europe, recognized by its rich cultural heritage, its excellent cuisine and a lively nightlife”.
The new flight to Budapest is one of the 11 new routes that the Airport of Faro receives in the IATA Summer 2017. ANA Aeroportos estimates that this new offer will allow it to increase the supply of regular seats by 1 million, compared to the same period in 2016.
