Hope you like it :cheers:

nice, what about Varna ? :D

Have used it :) Nice airport with some rural feel.

the statistics suprise me... very nice :cheers:

nice, what about Varna ? :D

Well it seems that Varna airport is somewhat camera shy :D.Couldn't find many pics on the net.

the statistics suprise me... very nice :cheers:

Yeah,for the last year 4.5m tourists visited Bulgaria and the majority of them on the Black Sea coast.The Bourgas terminal is all ready overcrouded,and with hardly any capacity to handle more passengers.The concession is the only option for its expantion(the state gave the concession for Bourgas and Varna airports to a danish company that manages the Copenhagen airport)but the other two candidates are now disputing this at the High Administrative Court and untill its verdict the concession is stopped.I don't care who the winner will be as long as it is a credible company that will invest and expand the terminal.

yeah but even the numbers in 1999, 2000... suprised me...

how about Sofia intl. What are the stats on that?

^^?

Sofia airport too had a big increase in the number of passengers .From 1.57m in 2004 to 1.95m last year-that's up by nearly 25%-not bad at all :wink2:.It'll easily pass the 2m mark in 2006,and if the gowth continues in the next 5-6 years(I doubt it will be with 25% every year,but lets say with 15-17%)-in 2012 it will service 3.5-3,7m.

Летище София посрещна 1.9-милионния си пътник за 2005-а
Летище София посрещна вчера 1.9-милионния си пътник за 2005 г. Късметлията се казва Владимир Белчев, който пристигна с двете си деца Стефан и Александрина с полет на "България ер" от Рим. Белчев е от Пазарджик. Билетът, определен за печеливш, е бил избран чрез жребий.
Пасажерът бе посрещнат лично от изпълнителния директор на летището Пламен Станчев и получи подаръци от заместник - министъра на транспорта Даниела Никифорова.
До края на годината при добри метеорологични условия се очаква пътниците, кацнали на летище София, да достигнат 1 950 000, каза Пламен Станчев. Европейските директиви изискват при надхвърляне на 2 млн. пътници през едно летище, на него да се допуснат и алтернативни оператори за наземното обслужване. Прогнозите са в столицата това да стане в края на 2006 година.

wow, I didn't expect to see the Burgas airport to have such a high number of passengers!
Even with the touristic boom, I didn't think Bulgaria would have two airports closing in on the 2 million mark

^^ lol you forget your (ex) hometown.I couldn't find exact ststs about Varna airport,but as far as I know last year it serviced more passengers than Bourgas-so make them 3 closing in on the 2m mark.

Are you certain about Varna?
http://www.monitor.bg/bussiness/article?sid=&aid=69688&cid=40&eid=617
It mentions 2 million for Sofia, 1.6 for Burgas and 400k for Varna.

A very nice airport. Well done

I think it's a mistake cos they say total passenger -5m-Sofia-2,Bourgas-1.6 and Varna-400k hmm this total is 4m,where did those 1m passengers landed ,so i think for Varna-1.4m.But this is a surprise for me, I tought Varna had more passengers than Bourgas.
