Malev to begin the route on this Sunday. I presume this was announced before now?

What was an overnight stop is now being changed to come in from BUD, unload, reload and do a round trip to Athens, and then when it gets back, it does the morning outbound to BUD again.

Not sure how they are crewing it, as it used to be an overnight for the crew, and if they arrived in late, that meant they left late the following day.

Has to be a better use of an airframe, it's earning nothing sat on the ground, and ATH is a hole in the routing that no one else has shown any inclination to fill.
