The first direct flight of Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air from Budapest to Astana took off on June 8.
The new service will operate twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays on Airbus A320.
The launch of the new service is a landmark event, in particular, on the eve of the international specialized exhibition EXPO-2017, and will contribute to strengthening cooperation, diplomatic and business relations between Kazakhstan and Hungary.
On November 24, 2016, following the results of negotiations between the aviation authorities, both countries were granted the right to carry out up to 7 flights a week. According to Wizz Air, one-way trip from Astana to Budapest will range from 49 to 130 euros. (Kazinform/Business World Magazine)
