Budapest Airport has celebrated its first new route of 2017, with easyJet launching its first link to the Netherlands from the Hungarian gateway.
The low-cost carrier’s (LCC) three times weekly service to Amsterdam will be the airport’s second link to the Dutch capital city, providing an additional 500 one-way weekly seats on the direct service.
Welcoming the inaugural flight, Kam Jandu, CCO, Budapest Airport said: “easyJet’s operation is a great addition to our network, being our first low-cost service to Amsterdam and targeting a different passenger segment from KLM’s existing link. Last year we witnessed 26% growth on the route, proving the popularity of the city pair and the high demand for more choice and availability.”
