Budapest airport is continuing its comeback with news that Vueling will resume fights to Barcelona in the summer along with service to Rome. The two airports will be serviced three times per week from the summer, a frequency that can be increased to five times during peak periods. Alitalia already flies between Budapest and Rome 10 times per week, while Wizz Air makes daily trips to the Italian capital.
Alex Cruz, CEO of Vueling, said: “Budapest is a perfect addition to Vueling’s fast-growing new Rome base. Vueling faces significant competition on this route giving consumers in both capital cities even more choice. But we feel that, in addition to value, there is a very strong demand by the business community for a particular high quality product and service level.
“We are thrilled that Vueling has shown such confidence in Budapest Airport,” commented Jost Lammers CEO, Budapest Airport. “Vueling’s announcements are yet another major indication that the dual expansion of the Hungarian tourist market and improving economy offer continuous gr owth opportunities for airlines.”
