Outbound service EK111 will depart Dubai at 0820 and arrive at Budapest Airport at 1135 local time. Return flight EK112 will take-off from Budapest at 1505 and land at Dubai International Airport at 2330 local time.

Emirates president Tim Clark said: "Connectivity and mobility are crucial in today's global economy, and our service to Budapest will open up a world of opportunity for people in Hungary.

"It will introduce faster connections for our customers — both passengers and exporters — through our Dubai hub to numerous points that are currently underserved, including Sydney, Taipei and Phuket.

"These vital connections will inject new demand for travel, help boost bilateral trade with markets in the East, and magnify the competitiveness of the Hungarian economy. Ultimately, our global network benefits our customers."

Emirates is launching two other European routes this autumn — Oslo on September 2 (see news, March 13) and Brussels on September 5 (see news, April 29).
