easyJet: new Budapest-Amsterdam connection

Budapest Airport has inaugurated the latest Netherlands connection from the Hungarian hub to Amsterdam.

The three times weekly direct service to the Netherlands’ capital will connect the Hungarian city to the Dutch one with an addition of 1.000 weekly passenger seats on both segments.

With the occasion of the inaugural flight, Budapest Airport’s CEO Kam Jandu stated: “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 per cent growth on the route, proving the popularity of the city pair and the high demand for more choice and availability.”

Moreover, easyJet representatives are also optimistic about the decision, as the flight connecting Amsterdam and Budapest is the first of its kind enabling Dutch and Hungarian tourists traveling for both leisure and business can now fly at affordable prices and land in centrally located airports at their destinations.

“The number of European cities directly connected with Budapest by EasyJet has grown to eight: London Gatwick, Berlin Schönefeld, Paris CDG, Lyon, Basel, Geneva, and Venice Marco Polo all being equally accessible for Hungarian passengers. The popularity of Hungary as a destination has steadily increased among Dutch tourists, and so we are confident that the route will be successful from our side too,” concluded William Vet, commercial manager at easyJet.
