Budapest-Seoul non-stop flight relaunched
The first non-stop long-haul flight of the summer departed to Seoul on 20 July, and going forward it will be operated between Budapest and the capital of South Korea on a weekly basis, departing each Monday.
The much-awaited Budapest-Seoul flight was first launched by LOT Polish Airlines last fall. From then on, there has been great demand for the flight between Liszt Ferenc International Airport and Incheon Airport of Seoul: the Boeing 787 Dreamliners offering up to 294 seats served on the route with high seat occupancy.
The popular air link is currently operated every Monday between Budapest and Seoul. Air traffic between the two cities grew by 50% between September and March.
According to statistics a great amount of tickets were previously purchased by Korean citizens, mostly with the purpose of recreational activities in Hungary, and almost a quarter of all passengers used the flight on business.
The re-launch, therefore, has a special significance for both tourism and business relations between Hungary and South-Korea. Besides the non-stop long-haul flight, as announced last year LOT has launched non-stop air service i.e. to Dubrovnik, Croatia for this summer.
