## Description

Plovdiv is one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited cities — its airport at Krumovo (IATA: PDV, ICAO: LBPD), by contrast, is busiest in winter, when ski charters bring guests to the resorts of Bansko and the Rhodope mountains. Ryanair also links Bulgaria's second-largest city with London year-round. Civilian operations share the site with a Bulgarian Air Force helicopter base, and right next door the Krumovo Aviation Museum displays historic aircraft. The airport has a customs- and excise-cleared cargo area but handles only small volumes — about 117 tonnes in 2024, up from 26 tonnes in 2023, mostly charter and small consignments; there are no scheduled freighter services. For meaningful air-freight volumes, Sofia (IATA: SOF, approx. 140 km) is the region's cargo hub.
