## Description

Two airports, one operator: together with Varna, Burgas Airport (IATA: BOJ, ICAO: LBBG) on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast has been run under concession by Fraport Twin Star since 2006. In 2025 the two coastal airports carried a combined 3.7 million passengers, up 10.4 percent, across some 27,000 flights operated by 64 airlines to more than 90 destinations. With runway renovation now complete, Burgas claims one of the most modern runway setups in Southeast Europe, opening the door to new long-haul routes and a Summer 2026 schedule of over 70 destinations. For freight professionals, the picture is more sober: a small, documented cargo centre with on-site customs handles express shipments and occasional charters, with annual tonnage only in the low thousands (around 2,500 tonnes in 2023). Meaningful airfreight from southeastern Bulgaria trucks to Sofia or straight to Istanbul, whose hubs are only a few driving hours away, while bulk and containers move through the seaport of Burgas, one of the country's two major ports. The airport sits about 10 kilometres northeast of the city centre near the suburb of Sarafovo, linked by expressway to the A1 Trakia motorway towards Sofia. For project cargo in the Black Sea region, the triangle of seaport, airport and the road corridor to Istanbul is genuinely useful — provided expectations of the airfreight infrastructure stay realistic.
