Hungary set to join the Emirates Airline network
Starting 27th October, Emirates Airline will offer a daily a wide-body A330-200 service from Budapest to Dubai offering 12 tonnes cargo capacity each flight
Emirates will commence services to Hungary from October this year with a daily flight to the capital Budapest, operated with a wide-body A330-200 aircraft. With markets in Asia playing an increasing role in Hungary’s foreign economic growth targets, the airline expects to see strong demand for this new service, especially to countries like Thailand, China, Sri Lanka and the Indian Ocean Islands.
Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline says: “Connectivity and mobility are crucial in today’s global economy. Our service to Budapest will open up a world of opportunity for people in Hungary. It will introduce faster connections for our customers – both passengers and exporters – through our Dubai hub to numerous points that are currently underserved, including Sydney, Taipei and Phuket. These vital connections will inject new demand for travel, help boost bilateral trade with markets in the East, and magnify the competitiveness of the Hungarian economy.”
He continues: “Budapest will be the third European destination we launch services to this financial year, highlighting our continued investment in the region. We also continue to add frequencies and much needed seat capacity on many of our existing European routes.”
Jost Lammers, Chief Executive Officer, Budapest Airport, comments: “We’re absolutely ecstatic to welcome Emirates to Hungary. We promised some very significant new service developments this year, so Budapest Airport is enormously proud to announce the arrival of this major global carrier – especially because Emirates will be offering both: daily frequencies and wide-bodied services.”
Emirates SkyCargo will offer 12 tonnes of cargo capacity in each direction. Popular export commodities from Hungary are expected to be machinery, spare parts and foodstuff. The cargo division expects to transport garments, raw materials and electronics.
EK111 will depart Dubai at 0820hrs* and will arrive at Budapest Airport at 1135hrs*. The return flight, EK112 will depart at 1505hrs* and will arrive at Dubai International Airport at 2330hrs*.
