Management from CSA Czech Airlines and Budapest airport held a celebration event at Budapest Airport’s 2B last week to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first flight between the cities of Budapest and Prague, which took place on 23 May 1937. CSA Czech Airlines now operates the same route up to five times a day, carrying approximately 79,000 passengers a year between the two cities.

Budapest Airport’s Director of Aviation, Kam Jandu, said: “We are delighted to share this landmark celebration with CSA.  75 years is a phenomenal milestone and we look forward to continuing our successful relationship into the future, providing travellers from both cities with this much needed connection“.
