LOT will build up Budapest hub

Over the next several months, LOT Polish Airlines will add service to Seoul and 6 new European cities from its growing Budapest, Hungary, hub. Service to Seoul will begin Sept 22 and operate 3 times a week on Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. LOT CE Rafal Milczarski said "tourism and business potential between Budapest and Seoul is huge." About 70,000 passengers travel that route each year, and more than 750,000 passengers travel between Seoul and Central and Eastern Europe every year. March 30, LOT also will add service from Budapest to Sofia, Bulgaria; Prague; Belgrade, Serbia; Stuttgart, Germany; Bucharest, Romania; and Brussels, bringing its total destinations from Budapest to 12. LOT has made Budapest its first base of operations outside Poland. <br/>
