balkan plane & the EU

i have heard that they are having to replave the tupelovs with new aircraft to meet eu regulations or sumfink...is this true?

re: balkan plane & the EU

Its not true. But in anycase the Tupolevs were retired at the end of the recent Summer season.

This season will see BH Air use, Airbus and Boeing Aircraft.

re: balkan plane & the EU

thank god for that...i dont feel too comfortable in planes held together with tape...are they new or second hand?

re: balkan plane & the EU

Aww ... it just won't be the same without the rusty bolts and insulating tape ... what will we watch for entertainment?

re: balkan plane & the EU

Guys, im greek an i fly to thessalonika, its 1.5 hours from the border and also another 2 hours from bansko. - I mean by this that BA and other top notch carriers fly from UK & Europe

re: balkan plane & the EU

The BH Air planes are not the newest. There appears to be a fleet of 4 Airbus 320 aircraft one of which is on wet lease to Virgin Nigeria. As previously mentioned there are now no Tupolevs in the fleet. Its a shame cos they were great looking planes from the outside. On the inside it was more like being in a museum!

BH Air have allocated BH London 2 Airbus to operate out of Plovdiv Airport this winter.

BH London will have no charter flights into Sofia this winter, only the schedule flights of Bulgaria Air and Hemus Air
