First Q-400 arrived


MALEV's first Bombardier Q-400 arrived to Ferihegy airport.


Malev, the hungarian airline is changing..again.
They are selling the big birds (B767s), and ground some of their B737s, due to complete change in ideas.
The original idea was that the owner (who owned russias AiRUnion), will make a profit out of the european routes of Malev, since it would be a good connection point from europe to russia. (since AiRUnion flought to many russian cities).
Now it is gone, so Malev will concentrate on short routes. So short routes do not need big planes, and saving is good (although fuel prices are down again).
Malev will change its agening Fokker F70s and the almost new Bombardier CRJs to Q400.
The Q400 is a great turboprop plane, suitable for short routes. It is fuel efficent (much more than the CRJs), and quiet (that's why it is Q-400).
So..we can fly with the new plane as soon as they did all the test needed.

check out MALEV site for some good buy
but if you want more discount, try WizzAir or Easyjet
