The first aircraft is scheduled to arrive to Budapest on June 18 at 11:10 am local time. The plane is to offer 345 seats with 333 economy and 12 Club Class places. The new route would enable Budapest Airport to offer essential trans-Atlantic connection to destinations in North-America.

“All the preliminary research shows there is real demand for this kind of service both in the leisure and the business segment and will soon lead to increase of frequencies as early as possible,” Budapest Airport CEO Jost Lammers said.
