Deputy Director of the State Civil Aviation Agency Kanat Tologonov said that the Hungarian airline Wizz Air has again expressed interest in opening direct flights between Bishkek and Budapest.

He recalled that earlier an agreement was reached with this airline, but flights were not launched due to external economic factors.

«The conflict between Russia and Ukraine affected the opening of flights. The airspace over Ukraine was closed and it became unprofitable to fly via other routes, so the flights were not performed», — Tologonov explained.
