Air Humberside has noted an interesting development. Balkan Holidays are to fly two services to Bourgas using, it seems, A320s. This is from their website:
This week we are delighted to announce three brand new UK departure airports to Bourgas in Bulgaria which serves the popular resorts of Sunny Beach, Nessebar, Duni, Sozopol and Pomorie.
The airports of Cambridge, Southend and Newquay will each have one departure in May and September 2014 allowing for 7 night holidays only as follows:
- 23rd May 2014 Southend to Bourgas
- 23rd May 2014 Cambridge to Bourgas

- 01st Sep 2014 Southend to Bourgas

Announcing the new route, London Southend Airport’s Managing Director Alastair Welch said: “We are delighted to be adding Bulgaria and the beautiful Black Sea coast to our growing list of destinations for summer 2014. Balkan Holidays and Southend airport will, I am sure, prove a very popular combination for residents of South Essex and London.” He added: “Balkan Holidays fly state-of-the-art Airbus A320 aircraft, so passengers will arrive in Bourgas fresh and relaxed having enjoyed all the creature comforts these planes offer.”
