About Burgas Airport

Burgas Airport (BOJ) is located in the Sarafovo district of Burgas, in Burgas Province, about 10 km north-east of the city center. Opened to civil air traffic in 1947, it is operated by Fraport Twin Star Airport Management AD and serves as a key air gateway for Bulgaria's southern Black Sea coast, supporting tourism, trade and regional connectivity.

The airport operates through a modern passenger terminal structure serving both domestic flights and international flights, with separate processing for Schengen and non-Schengen travel where required. Terminal 2 has an annual capacity of around 2.7 million passengers and includes check-in areas, baggage systems, border-control facilities, retail and dining outlets, parking, cargo infrastructure, a 3,200-meter runway and expanded gate areas. Traffic is highly seasonal, rising sharply in late spring and summer as coastal resorts attract charter and scheduled services, then easing during the winter months.

Airlines operating from Burgas Airport include Bulgaria Air, Ryanair, Wizz Air, Jet2.com, easyJet, Eurowings, Discover Airlines, Austrian Airlines, TUI, Transavia and other seasonal carriers. Key direct destinations include Sofia for domestic connectivity, as well as London, Manchester, Vienna, Warsaw, Katowice, Gdansk, Budapest, Dublin, Rome, Frankfurt, Munich and Paris among the main international routes. Demand for flight tickets is driven mainly by inbound leisure travel to the Black Sea region, supported by visiting-friends-and-relatives traffic, seasonal charter programs and steady demand for practical regional connections.
