Malév operating with consolidated and efficient fleet

2010. 02. 03

From the end of January 2010, Fokker 70 aircraft of the Hungarian airline no longer carry out commercial flights in the Malév livery. This means that from February the fleet is structured on two aircraft types: Boeing 737 Next Generation jets and Bombardier Q400 turboprops. Fleet rationalization takes the airline one step closer to achieving its objective defined as the cornerstone of its business strategy and market growth, making Malév the leading airline in Central-Eastern Europe.

200,000 more passengers flew with Malév in 2009

2010. 01. 25

Malév performed better than the European average in 2009, a year that saw a downturn in the air transport industry as a whole. In the face of the European trend, the Hungarian national carrier was actually able to increase the number of its passengers. The airline carried a total of 3.3 million scheduled and charter travellers, 6% more than in the previous year (indicator omits long-haul passengers). This enabled the airline to up its market share by two percentage points to 43,5%.

Malév hot offer to Istanbul

2010. 01. 18

Malév is offering very attractive return gross fares to Istanbul from €157 from many European destinations. In the wake of the closure of the Czech national carrier's Istanbul flight and its withdrawal from the Turkish market in January, the best way to get to Istanbul is by flying Malév. Budapest's geographical position is perfect to change flights. Malév operates five flights per week from the Hungarian capital to the city of Bosporus.

Delays possible due to strike

2010. 01. 12

Delays to Malév services are likely today due to a strike by ground handling staff. Malév requests its passengers departing from Budapest to arrive at the airport in plenty of time, that is, approximately 1 hour earlier than the usual check-in time for flights.

Serbian-Hungarian air link is reopened

2009. 12. 14

After a break of nearly two decades, at 2.15 pm on 14 December 2009 a Malév aircraft landed again at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport. The Hungarian carrier is providing a daily air link between the Hungarian and Serbian capitals with connections through its network to 60 European and Middle Eastern destinations. Malév expects the launch of the new service to result in an increase in the number of transit travellers and passengers coming to Hungary on tourism and business. Return tickets for 15 Malév destinations can be purchased for an introductory unique price starting from €1 (without taxes).
