Kevin Brown, Managing Director, Edinburgh Airport, said: "We have been working hard with our airline partners to increase Edinburgh's connections with European capitals. Budapest has been a target for a long time and I'm delighted that Jet2.com has created this route. Budapest is a leading destination and I'm sure it will prove extremely popular with Scottish travellers."
Edinburgh Airport is the only Scottish airport flying direct to Budapest. Flights will begin on 21 April with fares starting from just £29.99 one-way including taxes with Jet2.com.
As well as Budapest, Edinburgh Airport has also added Basel, Cologne and Paphos services with EasyJet and Fuerteventura and Gothenberg with Ryanair all available from November and December 2010.
