Burgas Airport

Burgas Airport is situated in a picturesque bay along Bulgaria’s Southern Black Sea Coast, 10 km northeast of Burgas city. Its unique geographic position—at the crossroads of Europe and Asia—grants it strategic importance for modern global connectivity. The airport’s operational capabilities significantly enhance transport links, tourism, and trade relations between Eastern and Western partners.
Key Advantages:

Intermodal transport hub: Seamless connectivity via air, sea, and land. Within 10–15 km, it serves:

Burgas Port

A major railway junction

The E87 international highway

A duty-free zone

Proximity to low-cost fuel: The largest oil refinery on the Balkan Peninsula (10 km away) ensures cost-effective fuel supply.

Exceptional weather conditions: Year-round visibility with <1,000 m fog occurring only 3 days annually, enabling 24/7 operations. Tourism gateway: Within a 30 km radius lie top resorts like Sunny Beach, Nesebar, Elenite, and Dunes, driving high passenger traffic from May to September. Operator: In late 2006, the Fraport Twin Star Airport Management consortium (a partnership between Fraport AG, a global airport operator, and Bulgaria’s BM Star) won the 35-year concession to develop and operate Burgas and Varna Airports—the gateways to Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast.
