Dreadful news.
Burgas (or Bourgas as most people will know it as) is the main airport for UK travellers to Sunny Beach so the temporary closure is sure to cause travel mayhem.
Very nasty indeed.
BG Strong security on all airports rail Gares bus stations around the Country
You just don't know where to look and what for. (:
5 dead and 30 injured. (:
This advice has been reviewed and reissued with an amendment to the Travel Summary (explosion on bus at Bourgas airport). The overall level of the advice has not changed; there are no travel restrictions in place in this travel advice for Bulgaria.
On 18 July 2012, there was an explosion on a bus carrying tourists at Bourgas airport on the Black Sea; there are unconfirmed reports of a number of fatalities and casualties. There are no reports of British nationals being involved. Flights have been redirected to Varna airport. Delays of airport services highly likely. For information please contact your tour operator or airline.

So the Iranians are being blamed, targeting Israelis holidaying in Bulgaria... Usual terrorist tacticts, hit normal innocent people that will promote their cause
Bulgaria is a popular destination for Israelis, and ironically Iranians as well... It disgusts me that normal individuals should be attacked whilst on holiday... Religion has a lot to answer for, as does Americam/British imperialism....
From Communism to Anarchy within 20years!
That's the recent BG History.
The transition of Bulgaria shows very bad direction,
the BG system is not working.
the government is potty,
Criminal elements have infiltrated the government and controling it fully,
Interested in their own well being and nothing else,
Just a day before came the EU assessment which in one centence tells that Bulgaria is a criminal ground , lawless. Place and does not deserve to enter Monetary union
The recent BG ...

The recent BG government is allowing the country to turn into a terrorists platform/ground.
Getting into bed with countries (U this and U that) and playing second fiddle to the bid players and now ripping the rewards of becoming a danger zone in the cross fire battle zone.
At the moment all airports are extra tight -passengers walking with their luggages or trekking long distances because being dropped off away from main buildings and ending up in queues to even enter airport buildings.
Luckily the weather is dry and hot.
So allow a lot more time for checking in or finding and meeting your friends if arriving in BG.
There is a boom of Taxi bookings today.Tourists booking a private taxis to use rather than buses etc.
Boom and on car hire.
People prefer to squeeze out of airport individually.
The truth is that with care or not, nothing we can do to prevent something of this sort happening.
Sad but true.

What system does work ??? All seem self interested and basically run for gain, be it financial or glory... In the UK it has been widely accepted that we are the whipping boy (look it up Mikey) of the US, supposed part of Europe, yet not involved with the Euro, closed borders, differant tax system, weighed down with laws and legislation that effects personal liberty, massive crime problems, unemployment, a national debt that threatens to bankrupt the country almost weekly, soldiers in foriegn ...
