Plovdiv Airport continues to develop its network of destinations with new charter flights that will start in the winter season. With the cooperation of Romanian and Czech tour operators, from December 28, 2024, charter flights will be launched in the following directions: Bucharest – Plovdiv, Plovdiv – Prague, Prague – Plovdiv and Plovdiv – Bucharest.
„These flights will facilitate the access of tourists from Romania and the Czech Republic to the popular ski resorts such as Pamporovo and Chepelare, providing a fast and convenient way to travel to the regions of Plovdiv and Smolyan.“ said the Executive Director of Plovdiv Airport Doychin Angelov .
These charter lines are expected to contribute significantly to the growth of tourist flow and the development of the local economy during the winter season.
In addition, Plovdiv Airport is adding new flights with Ryanair for the upcoming season. From November 2, 2024, the new direct flight to Birmingham will be launched, which will operate once a week, every Saturday.
In addition to Birmingham, Ryanair continues to operate flights to Manchester and London and is considering expanding its network with new destinations, including those in Italy and Spain, which will offer even more options for travel to and from Plovdiv.
„In order for this to be possible, it is important to promote Plovdiv and the region as an attractive tourist destination,” noted Alicia Wojcik-Golebiovska - Ryanair manager for Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltic States.
She added that in this way countries such as Croatia, Albania and Poland have developed unknown tourist routes.
In the coming months, there will be charter flights from Plovdiv to Antalya and from Plovdiv to Belfast, which will strengthen the connectivity of Plovdiv Airport and provide new travel opportunities.
The management of Plovdiv Airport emphasizes that the expansion of flights is possible thanks to the active support of the Plovdiv Airport Development Fund. The fund plays a key role in attracting new airlines and developing air connections that are of strategic importance to the region.
