A passenger plane taking off from Beijing, the capital of China, landed at the Liszt International Airport in Budapest, capital of Hungary, on the 7th, marking the official resumption of regular passenger flights between Hungary and China. The passenger plane operated by Air China arrived in Budapest at 18:08 local time on the 7th, and the return flight took off for Beijing at 21:50. This is the first scheduled passenger flight since direct flights between China and Hungary were suspended in 2020 due to the impact of the new crown epidemic.

It is understood that the round-trip flight on the Beijing-Budapest route operated by Air China is planned to be held once a week on Thursday. Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economics Scijardo said on social media on June 27 that the decision to resume the Beijing-Budapest flight is a milestone that will greatly promote tourism and trade, and is very important to the Hungarian economy.

On May 1, 2015, Air China launched a regular passenger route between the capitals of China and Hungary.
