Varna Airport - Future Plans and Expansion

Future Plans and Expansion

Currently, Varna Airport is subject to heavy traffic with the growing tourism industry in Bulgaria and is in need of major investments to modernize, expand and handle projected passenger traffic. In June, 2006 the Bulgarian Government awarded Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide a 35 year long concession on both Varna and Burgas airports in return for investments exceeding €500 million, including a new passenger terminal by 2008.

From 15 October 2011 until 28 February 2012, Varna airport was closed for a reconstruction of the runway. All flights were operated on Bourgas Airport.

Famous quotes containing the words future, plans and/or expansion:

    ‘Tis the world-old way of the rain
    When it comes to a mountain farm
    To exact for a present gain
    A little of future harm.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
