Aeroflot plans to increase the number of flights from Moscow to Budapest starting mid-summer. The carrier plans to operate four flights daily, up from the current three, starting July 1. An afternoon flight will be added, and the evening flight on the summer schedule will be moved forward three hours again, returning to Moscow by midnight, reports Travel.ru's own correspondent.
Starting July 1, flights from Moscow (Sheremetyevo Airport) will depart at 7:05, 10:20, 13:35, and 17:55, arriving in Budapest at 8:45, 12:00, 15:20, and 19:35, respectively. Return flights will depart at 9:45, 12:55, 16:35, and 20:25, arriving in Moscow at 13:15, 16:25, 20:05, and 23:55. The route is primarily operated by Airbus A320 aircraft, but the new flight (13:35 from Moscow and 16:35 from Budapest) will be operated primarily by Superjet 100.
This is the second consecutive increase in flight frequency on the Budapest route. Aeroflot only introduced a third flight on this route in late autumn. This means that flight frequency will double in less than a year.
As a reminder, Hungarian low-cost airline Wizzair is also planning to increase the number of flights on this route. It also plans to deploy larger Airbus A321 aircraft on the Budapest-Moscow route.
