Budapest-Xian flight to launch from summer
A direct flight between Budapest and Xian, the capital of Shaanxi Province, will start operating in the summer, bringing the number of big Chinese cities travellers can reach with direct flights from Budapest to six, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, Peter Szijjarto, announced during a visit to Beijing on Tuesday.
Xian, an inland province in north-western China, has a population of around 13 million, the minister noted.
Direct Budapest flights already operate between Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Ningbo, and another connecting the capital with Guangzhou will launch in June.
