Polish airline LOT has launched a scheduled, direct air passenger service between Budapest and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, meaning that after a pause of seven years there is now once again a direct air passenger route between the United States and Hungary, Kormany.hu reports.
At a press conference held at Budapest’s Ferenc Liszt International Airport prior to the official launch of the route, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto said that in our accelerating world links are becoming increasingly important, and this often crops up during talks with global companies.
LOT’s Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which are capable of carrying 252 passengers and 12 tons of cargo, will be travelling the route four days-a-week all year round, on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.
