See the Bulgarian airport has a new spelling according to the info at Bfs, Burgas not Bourgas. Wouldn't you think that whoever enters this information would know the correct spelling and that it would also be checked.

Pathetic...many places have more than one spelling...Brugge...or Bruges..Parijs/Paris...Munchen/Munich. Belfast Harbour/Hole in the hedge.......I think there is unlikely to be a confusion over which Burgas/Bourgas folks are travelling to....

As for the awning...write to BFS and ask them why.


Just checked Bourgas/Burgas website and found

Burgas Airport is situated in a picturesque bay on the southern Bulgarian Black Sea coast, 10 km north-east of the city of Burgas which ranks second among Bulgarian municipalities by its well-developed industry.
And then
The mild climate and the meteorological conditions in the region ensure excellent visibility throughout all seasons and 24-hour operation of Bourgas Airport all the year round.

What can they mean.....don't they know that the NI spelling police are watching....as for the condition of their awning......sheesh
