Sólyom Hungarian Airlines starting its operation soon

Sólyom (Falcon) Hungarian Airwaysis the name of the Hungarian Airlines, and it will already start to operate with in August 2013. If all plans work out the new airline can show off with about 50 airplanes by 2017. The fleet’s worth is nearly 4 billion euros and will engage 700 employees in the first year. Later on this number can go up to 3000.

At first Sólyom will only have European and Middle-Eastern destinations, but starting from next year it will possibly fly overseas as well. By that time, the company is hoping for a passenger turnover of 3 million, which is still being dwarfed by the planned 8 million in 2017.
Sólyom will not be considered as a low-cost airline, but will compete in the premium segment.
