This inaugural service establishes a brand-new connection between Hungary and the Gulf region, reflecting the growing demand for enhanced travel links between Central Europe and the Middle East. Operating twice-weekly until mid-September 2025, the new route adds further depth to Budapest Airport's expanding Middle Eastern network and represents a significant milestone as Jazeera Airways begins operations in Hungary for the first time.

This strategic link enhances Budapest's role as a key destination hub in the region, supporting both tourism and business travel. As part of Budapest Airport's S25 schedule, which includes nearly 17,000 weekly seats to the Middle East, the new service is a timely and valuable addition that broadens travel opportunities for Hungarian and international passengers alike.
