Blackpool Airport gains Bulgaria flights from next summer
02.08.09
Blackpool Airport is to regain one of their popular services. Flights will run to Bourgas in Bulgaria once a week from next summer, four years after a route to the eastern European city was cancelled. It is the first of a number of promised services being offered by the airport, which has seen a rise in passenger numbers despite the recession.
Sue Kendrick, the airport's communications manager, said: ‘The route has been sorely missed and passengers who emailed us requesting its return should be delighted. Bulgaria is attracting a lot of interest from holidaymakers not only because of its fantastic sandy beaches and great weather but also because it's a euro-free zone.'
'A holiday in Bulgaria can be great value for money with a three course meal costing under £10 per person and a large beer only £1.30. Getting a popular route back for next summer is more good news for Blackpool International and our passengers.'
Balkan Holidays will relaunch the route on August 9, 2010.
