Brussels/Budapest, 7 December 2006 - SN Brussels Airlines considerably increases its flight offer between the European capital and Budapest. As from 19th of February, the flight schedule between Brussels and the Hungarian capital will be optimized thanks to additional daily flights and the use of larger aircraft.

Since Hungary became member of the European Union in 2004, the business traffic between Brussels and Budapest has been increasing. The trade relations between Hungary and the rest of the European Union are expanding. Dozens of Hungarian expats settle down in Brussels to work for the EU Commission or one of the other European institutions or organizations.

More and more city trippers discover the amazing cultural richness, the thermal offer and the attractive hotel infrastructure of the Hungarian capital. According to the figures of the Belgian Association of Tour operators ABTO, Budapest is one of the fastest growing city trip destinations.

Plenty of reasons for SN Brussels Airlines to considerably increase the flight offer between Brussels and Budapest and to optimize the flight schedule.

As from 19th February, SN Brussels Airlines offers an early morning flight to Budapest and a flight departing from Brussels in the late afternoon, returning from Budapest in the evening.

The new flight schedule is convenient both for business travelers and for tourists who wish to spend a full day in Budapest or Brussels. Thanks to the increase of the flight frequency and the use of a Boeing 737 aircraft for certain flights the seat offer considerably increases.


Thanks to the cooperation with partner Malev Hungarian Airlines, who offers two daily flights, SN Brussels Airlines' clients now can choose between four daily flights. The flight schedule of partner Malev perfectly alternates with the mentioned SN Brussels Airlines flights.
