Blackpool to Bulgaria back by popular demand!

Demand  has always been high to reinstate this popular destination and  now specialist operator Balkan Holidays, are commencing weekly flights next year to Bourgas direct from Blackpool starting on 9th August.

Sue Kendrick, the airport's customer relations and communications manager said: "The route has been sorely missed for the last few years and passengers emailing in to the airport requesting its return should be delighted that it is back.

"Bulgaria is attracting a lot of interest from holidaymakers not only because of its fantastic sandy beaches and great weather but also because its a euro free zone!  A holiday in Bulgaria can be great value for money with a three course meal costing under £10 per person and a large beer only £1.30."

Next year, holidaymakers can fly into Bourgas which offers easy access to the idyllic southern stretch of Bulgaria's coastline and a great choice of holiday resorts.

Sue added: "Getting a popular route back for next summer is more good news for Blackpool International and our passengers.  We seem to be  bucking the trend at Blackpool with most of our flights doing better than last year.  So a big thank you to all our passengers from across Lancashire and the Lake District for supporting their local airport.

"The free passenger parking for up to 15 days, available to all our departing passengers has proved very successful in attracting  more people from across Lancashire and the Lake District.  However, we recognise that of course this is dependent on being able to provide the routes that people want and we are doing our best to provide them."
