American Airlines returns to Budapest after six years: non-stop flights to Philadelphia from May 2026!
Budapest Airport, part of the VINCI Airports network proudly announces the re-launch of non-stop air service reconnecting Budapest with North America on a daily Dreamliner service.
The first resumed direct flight between Budapest and the USA — a milestone that responds to growing demand, with nearly 600,000 annual air passengers traveling between the two countries. The USA has long been Budapest’s largest unserved market — and now the direct link is finally reestablished.
With over 100 North American beyond destinations accessible via Philadelphia, this route is not only a vital link for tourism and trade, but also a major step in putting Budapest back on the transatlantic map.
A huge milestone for Budapest Airport and for transatlantic travel- and this is just the beginning.
