As the El Al Director for Hungary, János Váradi said, the 400-seat capacity aircraft was almost full and the other flights in question are also get tickets for, as well. These flights are usually filled by Israeli tourist groups visiting Hungary but they are also used by Hungarian tourists as well as businesspeople. The use of bigger plane is justified by an upturn in tourism between Hungary and Israel, he added.
