The airline Wizz Air continues to expand its operations in Israel, announcing a significant increase in the popular Tel Aviv – Budapest route. Starting from March 29, 2026, the company will operate three daily flights between the two cities, bringing the weekly number of flights to 21, a 50% increase compared to the current situation.
New Flight Schedule and Variety of Times
According to the announcement, flights from Tel Aviv to Budapest will depart at:
-
10:25
-
18:50
-
20:55 (Israel time)
Meanwhile, return flights from Budapest to Israel will depart at:

This is a daily addition throughout the week, providing passengers with greater flexibility in choosing flight times, whether in the morning, afternoon, or evening.
Discounted Tickets: Starting from 259 ILS
According to the company, flight prices will start at 259 ILS one way. This is one of the most attractive prices for this route, which is particularly popular among Israeli travelers seeking affordable and diverse vacations in Hungary and its surroundings.
Expansion of Wizz Air’s Operations in Israel
This current step is part of a broader trend of deepening Wizz Air’s operations at Ben Gurion Airport, following advanced negotiations in recent months between the company’s management, the Ministry of Transport, and the Civil Aviation Authority in Israel, regarding the establishment of a permanent base for the company in the country. If this move materializes, increased competition on flight prices is expected, especially against Israeli companies.
A Popular Destination Even in Winter
Budapest is considered a particularly beloved destination among the Israeli audience, even during the winter season, thanks to the combination of hot baths, festive markets, a rich cuisine, affordable prices, and a unique European atmosphere. Strengthening the route during this period may further increase the demand for the destination and contribute to the Israeli tourism market.
Increasing the frequency of flights on the Tel Aviv – Budapest route is welcome news for passengers seeking convenience, high availability, and affordable prices. Wizz Air continues to create competition in the Israeli aviation market and strengthens its position as one of the main low-cost airlines operating in Israel.
