Low cost-plus to Tel Aviv

Budapest Airport was the scene of another flight opening ceremony last week as the Tel Aviv flight operated by the new Israeli low-cost carrier UP arrived for the first time. Similarly to numerous other large airlines, El Al has established its own low-cost carrier, which will fly to Budapest, Berlin, Prague, Kiev and Larnaca in Cyprus. UP represents the higher tier of low-cost carriers, offering two classes: economy plus which provides additional services and the standard economy class. “We are delighted to welcome UP to Budapest because as with the new carrier’s services, traffic on the Tel Aviv route could surpass the performance seen in recent years,” Budapest Airport CEO Jost Lammers said.
