Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó announced that flights between Hszian and Budapest will start. According to AIRportal.hu, the Chinese city will be an intermediate stop for Shanghai Airlines flights to Shanghai, just like before the epidemic.
The head of the ministry announced in Beijing on Tuesday that Hszian will also be directly accessible from Budapest from the summer. In the video published on his social media page, he emphasized that aviation plays an important role in the cooperation between the two countries, but did not mention the weekly frequency of the flight or the airline that operates it.
According to AIRportal.hu’s market information, the connection to Xi’an will be established with an intermediate stop on Shanghai Airlines’ flights between Budapest and Shanghai, which operate every day of the week, just like before the epidemic. As is known, from the end of December 2019, those flights operated twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, on the route Shanghai – Hsian – Budapest – Hsian – Shanghai until the closures due to the coronavirus epidemic.
Along with Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Ningpo and the soon-to-be-launched Guangzhou, Xi’an is the sixth Chinese city that will be accessible by direct passenger flight from Budapest. There will be 17 passenger flights between Hungary and China per week.
With a population of approximately 13 million, it is the seat and largest city of Xianxi province. It is located approximately 900 kilometers southwest of Beijing and is an important industrial and financial center, MTI wrote.
