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. The traffic pattern is starkly seasonal — packed aprons in July, near silence in January — driven by the beach resorts around Sunny Beach and Nessebar; charter carrier BH Air calls the airport home. For freight professionals, Burgas is slightly more than a pure holiday field: a small, documented cargo centre with on-site customs handles express shipments and occasional charters for regional industry. The honest assessment still applies: 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 go through the seaport of Burgas, one of the country's two major ports. The airport lies about 10 kilometres northeast of the city centre near the suburb of Sarafovo, connected via the expressway towards the A1 Trakia motorway to Sofia. For project cargo in the Black Sea region, the triangle of seaport, airport and the road corridor to Istanbul is genuinely useful — as long as expectations of the airfreight infrastructure stay realistic.
