In line with Budapest Airport’s strategy to develop its route network in Africa and Asia, Wizz Air has confirmed three new services for the winter 21/22 season to Amman and Aqaba in Jordan and Hurghada in Egypt.
Amman was added to Budapest’s destination map in 2018 with immediate demand on the service to Western Asia. The airport’s capacity to Jordan’s main gateway will now increase with a twice-weekly service from 17 December 2021 thanks to Wizz Air’s latest announcement. The ultra-low-cost-carrier (ULCC) will also launch a twice-weekly service to Aqaba – on the popular Red Sea coast – from 16 December 2021.
Increasing the airport’s connections to Africa the ULCC will also commence weekly flights to Hurghada from 18 December. This new service will complement the airport’s existing services to Cairo and Hurghada in Egypt.
“We are over the moon that one of our biggest airline partners has decided to add to our destinations in Africa and Asia,” said Balázs Bogats, Head of Airline Development, Budapest Airport. “Wizz Air’s new schedules make for an ideal week vacation to Egypt, or the perfect short getaway to Jordan to take in the enchantment of the Red Sea. The confirmation of Wizz Air’s new flights comes at the perfect time as we start to witness the increase in demand for winter breaks. Our customers’ confidence has returned and we have no doubt in the popularity of these routes.”
