The Sólyom Hungarian Airways will reportedly
be flying the skies with full commercial-travel services this coming
autumn, but before then the trademark falcon logo will be landing in
Tesco, Reál and CBA shopping outlets, emblazoned on products bearing the
“Naturalle” brand name.
At
a press conference today, Sólyom Hungarian Airways Kft Managing
Director János Lucsik and CEO József Vágó together with Sales One
representatives previewed products from the incipient “premium Hungarian product line”
– bottled water, refined flour, sunflower oil and plum jam – developed
by the latter. Sólyom was announced as a now-10% owner of the marketing
company, which was established in November 2012.
Of course, nearly any story featuring
the would-be national airline includes future bigger plans, and Sólyom
did not disappoint today. Lucsik stated that the Sólyom/Sales One
premium brand aims to employ up to 2,500 by the end of 2017. Not only
this, but Lucsik also hinted that the company together with Sales One
might soon be sponsoring two unnamed sports clubs in Hungary.
No questions were taken by Vágó or the others on the airline, with the latest news that Sólyom’s first charter flights are to begin in September with standard scheduled flights beginning in “early October.”
