Budapest Airport has announced a significant enhancement to its Scandinavian flight offerings with the return of SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) to its roster for Summer 2025.
Starting 3 April 2025, SAS will launch a four-times weekly direct service connecting Budapest to Copenhagen, further strengthening ties between the Hungarian and Danish capitals.
This route will be operated using the airline’s state-of-the-art A320 Neo fleet, flying the 1,105-kilometer sector.
This new route marks a key addition to the airport’s existing services to Copenhagen, which are currently operated by Norwegian, Ryanair, and Wizz Air.
SAS’ arrival will immediately claim a 16% share of the weekly flights to the Danish capital, adding significant capacity to this popular route.
By the second week of April 2025, Budapest Airport’s one-way seat capacity to Copenhagen will exceed 4,300 weekly seats (based on OAG Analyser data for the week commencing April 7, 2025).
Máté Ritter, head of airline development of Budapest Airport said: “We are excited to welcome SAS back to Budapest Airport and expand the airport’s connection to Copenhagen.
“The demand for travel between Budapest and the Danish capital continues to grow, and the return of SAS will allow us to better meet this need while enhancing our overall connectivity to Scandinavia.
“We look forward to the long-term success of this route and building upon the positive momentum we’ve seen in our Scandinavian offerings.”
