Wizz Air launches new flight from Budapest to Santander, Spain

Budapest Airport has announced a new route to the Spanish city of Santander with its home-based carrier Wizz Air. Launching the 1,846-kilometer sector with the low-cost carrier (LCC) on 2 June, the twice-weekly service becomes the airlineโ€™s 70th destination served from the Hungarian gateway.

Providing Budapestโ€™s passengers with an ideal short-break option to the medieval port, Wizz Airโ€™s new link will boost the airlineโ€™s presence in the Budapest-Spain market. The LCC will have close to 54% share of all Spanish flights and seats from Hungaryโ€™s capital city during S20.

โ€œWizz Air continue to support our growth and recognizes Spain as a key market for Budapest,โ€ says Balรกzs Bogรกts, Head of Airline Development, Budapest Airport. โ€œThe city of Santander is a renowned tourist resort in demand from Hungarian travelers, while we continue to welcome an ever-growing number of Spanish visitors each year. This new link will enhance choice for passengers from both countries.โ€

Santander becomes Wizz Airโ€™s ninth Spanish service from Budapest, joining existing links to Alicante, Barcelona, Castellรณn, Ibiza, Madrid, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca and Tenerife South. As the LCC expands its route map from the airport, the new link also further consolidates the countryโ€™s position as Budapestโ€™s fourth largest market served, offering 12,786 weekly seats to Spain this summer.
