Jazeera Airways Relaunches Direct Flights to Budapest This Summer

Jazeera Airways, Kuwait's leading low-cost carrier, announced the relaunch of direct flights between Kuwait and Budapest, Hungary on the sidelines of the UEFA Champions League final match in Budapest.

This route further expands Jazeera’s growing European network and offers travelers another attractive destination for their summer holidays.

The service will commence on 16 July 2026 and operate three times a week, with flights now open for booking through the airline's website, mobile application, and call center.

Budapest joins Milan Bergamo and London Luton in Jazeera’s Europen network this summer. The addition of Budapest reflects the airline's continued focus on providing affordable, convenient connectivity between Kuwait and key leisure, cultural, and business destinations across Europe.

Speaking from Budapest, just before the UEFA Cup Final between PSG and Arsenal at the Puskas stadium, Barathan Pasupathi, Chief Executive Officer of Jazeera Airways, said:

"We are pleased to bring Budapest back to our network, giving our customers even more choice when planning their summer travels. Budapest has consistently been a popular destination, offering a unique blend of history, culture, architecture, and vibrant city life. The relaunch of this route further strengthens our European footprint as we continue to build a network focused on convenience, value, and direct connectivity."

Often referred to as the "Pearl of the Danube," Budapest is renowned for its historic landmarks, thermal baths, vibrant culinary scene, and picturesque riverside setting. The city also serves as an ideal gateway for travelers looking to explore Central Europe.

With more than 2 million seats and over 60 destinations on offer for the summer, passengers can easily book Jazeera Airways' flights through jazeeraairways.com, the Jazeera Airways mobile application or call center at 177.
