The first commercial flight of the Dubai-based Emirates airline landed in Budapest Monday, the airline reported. As of Tuesday, a daily flight becomes available between Budapest and Dubai by Emirates, flying an Airbus A330-200 aircraft with enough room for 276 passengers, with a cargo place up to 12 tons.
Emirates’ commercial deputy CEO Thierry Antinori said the capacity of the flights can be upgraded in the future on demand. Csaba Balogh, deputy state secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade said that besides establishing a regular flight, Emirates is also scheduled to open a service center in the country, which is expected to create new jobs for a total of 300 people.
