Excellent connections to Central, Eastern Europe and the Middle East!

The Hungarian national airline flies to more than 60 destinations from its Budapest hub.

Fleet

Malév fleet comprises 26 aircraft, the core of which is made up of new 18 Boeing 737 Next-Generation planes. The company is gradually upgrading its regional fleet with Q400 turboprops manufactured by plane-maker Bombardier Aerospace. The first four pre-owned Q400 turboprop aircraft - providing the perfect balance of passenger comfort and operating economics with the lowest environmental footprint - will join the Hungarian national fleet from the 2008/2009 winter schedule, to be followed by four new models coming into service from 2012. 

This modern fleet allows the Hungarian airline to provide its customers with high standards, and it also permits highly efficient operation.

Malév in oneworld alliance
Malév Hungarian Airlines joined oneworld on 1 April 2007. As a full-right member, the airline continues to provide its renowned quality services but now combined with all the advantages offered by the global alliance. The Malév oneworld package gives travellers a partner route network with almost 700 airports, opportunities to earn and redeem frequent flyer miles and points across the combined oneworld network, and admission to over 500 airport departure lounges.

In a survey of the world's best airlines, airports, hotels and cities conducted by American Global Traveler magazine, premium frequent flyers voted Malév "Best Airline in Eastern Europe" for 2007. Malév Hungarian Airlines is awarded second times by Global Traveler magazine, as Malév was named the best Airline in Eastern Europe last year by more than 10 thousand industry professionals and frequent flyer readers.

Among the most punctual airlines in Europe
Malév aircraft flying short- and medium-haul routes had the best on-time arrival performance, the first 2008 quarterly report of the Association of European Airlines (AEA) shows.
The statistical survey summarizing traffic and baggage handling data of European airlines also revealed that Malév came third on short- and medium-haul flights in terms of punctual departures in Europe, while it is fifth on baggage delivery performance. More than 95% of the flights of Malév are within a radius of 3000 km, therefore these figures are highly representative of the airline’s overall operation.
