May 26, 2023 (newstodate): Hungary just LOVES China - at least Budapest Airport does...
   In May 2023, Budapest Airport welcomed three new regular cargo flight operations, further strengthening of the Hungarian gateway’s regional role in air cargo.  
   Budapest Airport has thus added Wizz Air’s service from Hangzhou, Longhao Airlines’ operation from Zhengzhou, and Ethiopian Airlines’ charter flight from Hong Kong to its portfolio.
   Starting from May 15, 2023, Wizz Air is operating scheduled flights to Hangzhou, a major economic and e-commerce hub in China, located just 170 km from Shanghai, with the Hungarian Government's Airbus A330F.
   On May 19, 2023, Budapest Airport also welcomed Longhao Airlines, a Chinese airline operating between Budapest and Zhengzhou using a Boeing 747 freighter.
   Finally, Ethiopian Airlines has now launched a weekly charter service between Budapest and Hong Kong, using a Boeing 777F with a focus on general cargo and ecommerce commodities.
   In 2022, Budapest Airport handled a record cargo volume of 194,000 tonnes.  
   Budapest Airport today has online passenger and cargo services to major Chinese cities including Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Zhengzhou, with flights to Ningbo soon to be added.
