Following the closure of Hungary’s national airline Malev a raft of low fares
airlines lead by Ryanair and Whizz Air have increased the numbers of routes and
flights to and from Budapest.
Of course it’s sad to see Malev close but on the upside the
increased competition will more than likely mean more affordable flights to Budapest for travelers.
Ryanair has stated it will add 31 new routes and the airlines Wizz Air,
SmartWings, Air Berlin
and Jet2.com have all announced increased activity as have some of the larger
carriers.
So what about the pristine new terminal sky court? Terminal 2 in Franz Liszt
airport recently underwent a significant face lift and just last year
inaugurated its stunning new sky court concourse. Terminal 2 was generally only
used by larger, legacy carriers and of course Malev, with the no fills airlines
using only the old Terminal 1. However now since Malev will no longer fly the
low cost carriers will now also begin using Terminal 2, and Terminal 1 will
gradually close.
