Budapest Airport to serve Seoul on new year-round route
LOT Polish Airlines is launching year-round flights between Budapest Airport and Seoul Incheon. The route will be operated three times per week from 22nd September by a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. This will enable Budapest Airport to better serve customer’s needs.
Jost Lammers, CEO Budapest Airport: “LOT’s long-haul service to Seoul is the first scheduled flight ever from Budapest and is a further vote of confidence in our airport during a record summer for us. With over USD 1.2 billion inward investment from Korea into Hungary solely this year, we can ensure both business related travels and cargo opportunities will be optimised.”
With the new route, customers flying from Budapest now have a choice of three Asian destinations, including Beijing and Shanghai. This comes as further routes were announced from S20, including a 12 times weekly service to Prague and Stuttgart, along with daily services to Sofia and Belgrade. This brings the number to 12 destinations served by LOT from Budapest Airport. This move strengthens the hub concept for LOT in Central Europe and drives them towards being the largest full-service carrier at Budapest Airport.
