With the number of Korean visitors quadrupling over the last four years, Budapest Airport and LOT Polish Airlines worked closely together to launch yesterdayโs new link between Hungaryโs capital city and South Koreaโs largest airport โ Seoul Incheon. Welcoming over 100,000 visitors from Korea each year, Budapest celebrated the arrival of LOTโs three times weekly service. This latest expansion marks a significant development in the airportโs connections with the East.
Commenting at the launch, Dr. Rolf Schnitzler, CEO, Budapest Airport said: โWith the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and our strong relationship with LOT Polish Airlines, we have ensured further business and leisure relations in this essential market. The need for further connections from Budapest to the East has continued to grow and this is the next crucial step in our commitment to meet demand and serve our customersโ needs.โ
With investments from Korea into Hungary reaching over $1.2bn this year, Budapest Airportโs fastest growing full-service carrier will now play an important role in the growth of the economic ties between the two countries.
