Budapest Airport has welcomed the return of regular flights to Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria with new airline customer Bulgaria Air, which is the national carrier of Republic of Bulgaria. Bulgaria Air, which is serving the route four times weekly, becomes the first overseas airline to benefit from Budapest Airport’s innovative incentive scheme to increase more thin routes.
The initiative announced at Routes Europe in Budapest in May and is approved by the Hungarian Civil Aviation Authority. This initiative enables airlines to benefit with a 50 percent discount on passenger service charges per year, for a maximum three years. The scheme is being applied to new ‘thin’ routes in order to help Budapest Airport fill its ‘white spots’ on its expanding route map.
In the words of Kam Jandu, Budapest Airport aviation director, we are delighted to welcome new airline Bulgaria Air. This route will become popular with business as well as leisure travellers due to schedule that enables short break weekends in Bulgaria and Hungry.
