German national airline Lufthansa will operate flights to FlyBalaton Airport in Sarmellek (W Hungary) from six cities in Germany beginning in April, CEO Agoston Gubicza of FB Airport Kft, the company that on March 3 signed an agreement to lease and operate the airport, announced on Thursday evening.
