Low-cost airlines plan flights to Bulgaria

LOW-COST AIRLINES PLAN FLIGHTS TO BULGARIA
13:00 Wed 11 Oct 2006

A number of low-cost air companies would start operating on Bulgaria’s market in a few months, Dnevnik daily reported.
Four low-cost companies had already declared their intention to start flying to Bulgaria after January 1 2007 when the country joins the EU and the aviation market will be liberalised.
Italian Myair announced on October 10 that it would fly from Sofia to Bologne, Italian news agency ANSA said, as quoted by Dnevnik. Ireland’s Ryanair, the UK’s Easy Jet and Germany’s German Wings already presented a flight schedule to Sofia airport, Dnevnik said. A number of air companies have applied to fly to Bulgaria’s Bourgas airport.
Low-cost companies’ access to Bulgaria was stopped in the past few years in a bid to strengthen Bulgaria’s national flag carrier Bulgaria Air.
Currently only two low-cost companies fly to Bulgaria, Dnevnik said. Their shortcomings were that they landed at remote airports and the flight times were inconvenient, according to Dnevnik.
Bulgaria’s aviation market was becoming more attractive to air companies, Dnevnik said. Its earnings were 400 to 500 million euro a year.
