## Description

BMW's new electric-vehicle plant, which started series production in October 2025, has turned Debrecen into a focal point of Hungary's e-mobility industry — and Debrecen Airport (IATA: DEB, ICAO: LHDC) is its air gateway. The country's second-busiest airport after Budapest sits about 5 km south of the city, linked directly to the M35 motorway. After Wizz Air closed its base here in October 2024, the carrier returned for the 2026 season with several routes (London, Eindhoven, Istanbul, Tel Aviv, Larnaca), while Lufthansa flies daily to Munich. In June 2025 the XANGA Group opened a 23,000 m² logistics centre beside the airport in the Southern Economic Zone. With its own cargo handling and freight charters, DEB is a documented air-cargo option for eastern Hungary alongside Budapest (BUD), serving the automotive and battery supply chains.
