Korean Air is set to fly its inaugural passenger flight to Budapest in Hungary on 3 October using its Boeing 787-900. The service will fly once a week on Mondays from Seoul Incheon to Budapest with a return flight the next day.

The airline said the move follows the launch of cargo services to Budapest in February 2020 as it plans to bolster the competitiveness of its European network, especially in the eastern region.

Korean Air will increase the number of flights to Budapest to two (every Monday and Saturday) starting 31 October, adding a Saturday schedule from October 29.
