Sep 08, 2020 (newstodate): The Hungarian government has decided to acquire own cargo uplift capacity to secure strategic capacity in times of crisis and emergencies.
   The state has thus acquired one Airbus A330-200F aircraft formerly operated by Qatar Airways Cargo and offering the capacity to lift 70 tonnes of cargo on non-stop flights over a distance of 7,400 km.
   The Hungarian state is now negotiating with Wizz Air to take on the operation of the new aircraft that is new in the airline's fleet but sharing cross-type commonality with its 131 Airbus A320 Family aircraft, allowing also its pilots to qualify for flying the aircraft.
   Plans are to offer unused or excess cargo capacity on the freighter to commercial customers in the market.
