Spanish airline Iberia began services between Madrid and Budapest on Tuesday. Until 22 October, the airline will fly up to six times per week between the Spanish and Hungarian capital cities, using A320-family aircraft with between 141 and 200 seats, including Business and Economy sections. Iberia will offer more than 29,200 seats on the route this year.
In Madrid, Iberia passengers from Hungary can connect to another 22 Spanish destinations, such as Majorca, Barcelona and Malaga; to Lisbon and Porto in Portugal; to the Angolan capital Luanda; and to numerous Latin American cities, including Buenos Aires in Argentina, Mexico City, Montevideo in Uruguay, São Paulo in Brazil and Santiago in Chile.
Celia Muñoz, Iberia’s head of sales for Europe and Africa, commented: “We’re delighted to open the Budapest-Madrid route, which completes our network in Central Europe. The Hungarian capital is a very popular destination among Spanish tourists, thanks to its rich history, gastronomy and cultural life. The new route also vastly improves Hungary’s connections with our other destinations in Spain and our Latin American network.”
Kam Jandu, chief commercial officer for Budapest Airport, said: “We are very pleased that Spain’s national carrier has returned to the vital Madrid trunk route. We’re all really looking forward to working with Iberia this summer, a year that is already promising extensive further growth for us.”
To mark the launch of the Budapest route, Iberia is offering customers in Hungary promotional fares to a number of its destinations starting at HUF 35,900.
