There are six active civil airports on the territory of Bulgaria. True, for most tourists, four are of interest. Two of them are located in the central part of the country, and the rest - in its coastal regions.
Airports where sea resorts arrive
There are two such air harbors. The first of them is Varna airport (Bulgaria), which is located in the north-east of the country at a distance of seven and a half kilometers from the northern resort capital.
Its history began a little less than a hundred years ago, when the first canopies of the hydroport were built. Flights to Sofia and back began to operate in the twentieth year of the last century. Well, regular flights from this airport in Bulgaria with others were established only by the fifties.
The start of the new millennium was marked by an increase in the flow of passengers, mainly due to an increase in the number of tourists. In 2006, a strategic decision was made to build a second terminal. At the end of the summer of 2013, it will host the firstpassengers.
People who fly to rest in cities such as Golden Sands, Balchik, Albena and Sunny Day will be met within the walls of this particular airport in Bulgaria.
The second air harbor, which receives tourists who have arrived to bask in the sun, is located about one hundred and thirty kilometers to the south. The second seaside resort that Bulgaria is proud of is Sunny Beach. The airport in question is in Burgas.
Basically, he meets charter flights, the flow of which increases significantly during the season. Burgas Airport is also under modernization, after which the quality of passenger service will improve, and it will be able to accept them much more.
Not far from this airport in Bulgaria (in addition to Sunny Beach) are Nessebar and St. Vlas, Sozopol, Dunes and other resorts, many of which have been actively developing lately.
Air harbors of the central part of Bulgaria: educational and ski tourism
Of course, the capital of a modern state is hardly imagined without a large number of travelers arriving in all possible ways: by train, bus and, of course, by plane. It is quite logical that the title of the largest airport in Bulgaria belongs to the one located in Sofia, more precisely, five kilometers from it.
Its construction began in the thirties of the last century. At that time, the capital was a relatively small city. It is logical that he wasfor a relatively short time, and with its growth, the flow of passengers also increased. In 2006, a second terminal and runway was introduced.
And, finally, one more airport, where a considerable number of tourists also aspire, however, in winter - Plovdiv. It is from here that you can get to the ski resorts in Bulgaria, such as Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo. This air harbor occupies an honorable second place after Sofia. By the way, Plovdiv itself is a city with a population second only to that of the capital.
The remaining two international airports are Gorno-Oryakhovitsa and Kalvacha. The first is notable for being located at approximately equal distance from Sofia, Varna, Burgas and Plovdiv, as well as in close proximity to the old Bulgarian capital - Veliko Tarnovo. "Kalvacha" is known for its proximity to the top of Shipka.
