The Hungarian contingent was transported by a C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft. The close-to two-hour flight was uneventful, and the airplane landed safely at Tartu airport in northern Estonia.

The Estonian military press interviewed the commander of the contingent, Lt.-Col. Zoltán Fekets at the airport.
