Today I was told (and the source is very reliable by the way) that Easyjet, Ryanair and Wizz Air will fly into the new Plovdiv Airport.At long last it looks as tho Pamporovo and surrounding areas (including Momchilovtsi lol) will be accessible without a 3-4 hour journey. Also, the first flights into Plovdiv are expected to start early July.

The airport will be delayed won't it Andie due to the nesting birds! They cant complete the roof until they migrate in a few months. However they do plan to open though in July ahead of schedule still ??????????????re: Plovdiv Airport - fingers crossed
Hi Arron, it is supposedly 2 months ahead of schedule. So if it is now delayed it may well be completed on time if you get my drift lol. A typical BG timetable eh!Luv to u all

Can't see Wizz, Ryan and Easyjet all doing Plovdiv surely not enough demand?To be honest I would be suprised if any of them took it on. The peak demand is only in winter and then only for 6wks if lucky, it's not exactly a route you would expect to be busy in the summer is it?
re: Plovdiv Airport - fingers crossed
A lot of it will be down to Bulgaria now being in the European Union and the freedom of travel that has opened up in Bulgaria. I think it could prove busy if marketed right, after all Plovdiv is the second biggest City in Bulgaria with 10% of the countries population living in and around the City.

Plovdiv is more central and will not only be used as an optional airport for the Black Sea coast passengers during the summer months but all year round by many expats, property owners and others living in and visiting the surrounding towns/villages - not just holiday makers.
As for the ski season I believe the transfer time from Plovdiv to Pamporovo and Borovets is roughly the same and just a bit further for Bansko. Don't the tour/package operators already use Plovdiv for the ski resorts ...

As for which airlines will fly into Plovdiv I can only repeat what I was told.

re: Plovdiv Airport - fingers crossed
Is your reliable source a ski instructor? Or my second guess a real estate agent?My reliable source, coomon sense, tells me they will not be using Plovdiv any time soon!
re: Plovdiv Airport - fingers crossed
Neither SN. BTW I drove past the airport the other day and it is well under way.re: Plovdiv Airport - fingers crossed
I always think coomon sense is the best thing to use in situations like these
re: Plovdiv Airport - fingers crossed
Done the plovdiv (Assenovgrad)to Bansko route a few years back myself took no more than two hrs in a taxi, this wasn't a crazy driver either
And about 3.5 hrs to the coast
