easyJet to Resume Popular Budapest-Lyon Service

by Len Varley
written by Len Varley

Budapest Airport is set to see the return of its direct connection to Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport in France with easyJet. This popular route was previously active pre-pandemic (2019/2020) with nearly 50,000 annual seats.

The service will now be relaunched by the airline from August 21 2024, and will then operate as a year-round service.

Initially, flights will operate twice a week. Budapest Airport anticipates an initial 38,000 seats sold annually, with the potential for increased frequency as early as summer 2025 due to historically high passenger numbers.

A Welcomed Return for Tourists and Skiers

The Budapest-Lyon route previously catered mainly to French leisure travelers (over 90% in 2019). However, as the service matured, it gained traction among Hungarians as well, with their share reaching 24%. This trend is expected to continue in 2024.

“The return of the Lyon route is very timely,” says Máté Ritter, Head of Airline Development at Budapest Airport.

“It perfectly aligns with the increasing tourism demand from France. Even without a direct connection in 2023, over 22,000 passengers transferred between Lyon and Budapest, making it one of our largest indirect city-pairs in Europe.”

Lyon’s convenient location near the French Alps, with many renowned ski resorts just a two-hour drive from the airport, is another factor expected to boost the route’s popularity for Hungarian skiers seeking winter adventures.

Air Transat commits to Lyon services year-round

by kbyrne
written by kbyrne

Canadian carrier Air Transat has announced it will continue to offer its Montreal to Lyon service in Winter 2023/24, making it a year-round service.

The French connection

With the announcement, the Montreal-based carrier became the only airline to operate a direct service year-round.

The flights to Lyon will operate three days per week – Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays – during the Winter 2023/2024.

Connecting the two major cities of the Francophonie (the global community of French-speaking peoples) is intended to entice Canadian tourists to experience the city as a gastronomic centre and popular ski destination.

The carrier already operates the Montreal-Lyon route in the Summer season seven times a week. Lyon is the second French destination added to the airline’s year-round programme, the other being Paris.

The other seasonal cities offered to France are Bordeaux, Marseille, Nantes, Nice and Toulouse.

Air Transat’s Chief Revenue Officer, Michèle Barre, said: “As the leading carrier between Quebec and France, it was natural for us to add Lyon and its region to our winter program.”

The route announcement comes after Air Transat announced positive news in its Q1 2023 financial results.

New Generation Long Haul

The route is being planned on the carriers new Airbus A321LR. The aircraft is the new generation variant of one of the world’s most successful narrowbody aircraft.

The new A321LR is Airbus’ long-range variant of the new A321neo family – “neo” meaning “new engine option”. The neo is equipped with new, more fuel-efficient and quieter engines than the aircraft’s older versions.

Airbus promotes the A321LR as “ideally suited to transatlantic routes” and allowing “airlines to tap into new long-haul markets not previously accessible with current single-aisle aircraft.”

The aircraft is able to carry approx. 206 passengers on transatlantic routes by using three additional centre fuel tanks (ACTs), alongside its efficiency developments.

The A321LR will is easily adaptable to low-cost, long-haul routes, particularly new routes being explored. On that topic, Ai Transat’s Barre said: “our A321LR fleet is the best tool to meet this goal.”

Air Transat’s A321LR aircraft are fitted with multi-class cabins and modern in-seat entertainment systems.

Barre concluded: “We are delighted to meet the growing demand between Canada and France, which will benefit winter sports enthusiasts, business travellers and the expat community alike.”

LONDON – Low-Cost giant Wizz Air has in recent days announced a new route connecting London Gatwick with the French city of Lyon.

Fares are starting at £21.99 and can be booked through Wizz Air’s website and mobile app.

The new route…

Wizz Air is no stranger to adding new routes as the company is one of two fast-growing Low-Cost Carriers in Europe, and its new seasonal route to the French city of Lyon from London Gatwick which inaugurated on January 10.

Flight W95767 departed London Gatwick at 6.05 a.m. on January 10, making the arrival into Lyon (LYS) 25 minutes prior to schedule. The flight was operated by G-WUKR, an Airbus A321neo registered to Wizz Air UK.

Four times per week, Wizz Air will operate these flights to Lyon throughout the winter season.

With Lyon being a hotspot destination with historical landmarks, renowned restaurants, and famous frescoes, the destination is sure to be a multi-access destination point as it also acts as a doorstep to the Alps.

Marion Geoffroy, Managing Director of Wizz Air UK, said:

“We are thrilled to celebrate the launch of yet another new route from Gatwick Airport. Not only is Lyon known for its UNESCO-listed Old Town, but it is only a short drive away from world-renowned ski resorts in the French Alps.”

Wizz Air

Recent base fleets expansion…

On December 20, Wizz Air celebrated the arrival of its 7th aircraft to its base at Sofia Airport. The airline also launched 2 new routes from Sofia to Stockholm and to Hamburg and increased the frequency on 11 of its most attractive routes. 

With the new aircraft, Wizz Air’s fleet in Bulgaria now totals 10 aircraft. Wizz Air welcomed the new aircraft at the departure of the newest Sofia-Hamburg flight.

The announcement also coincided with the launch of the two new routes from Sofia: to the German city of Hamburg and to the capital of Sweden, Stockholm.

This perhaps highlights the airline’s ambitions to develop the Bulgarian market by expanding its network and adding more travel options.
