A 6-month reconstruction of the runway and renovation of the aprons start at Burgas Airport. November 10 marks 19 years since the start of the Burgas Airport concession. The investment in one of the largest infrastructure projects by German concessionaire Fraport is 50 million euros.
New modern technology will be used to create drainage and upgrade the lighting, Vasil Atanasov, the airport director, told Radio Burgas. The goal is for the airport to handle the expected higher traffic volumes over the next 20 years. The first flights on the new runway are planned for May 1, 2026.
The 3,200 m runway was built in 1962 and modernized in 1980. The airport is among the first in Europe in terms of the number of sunny days. During the summer, it serves flights from and to over 12 European countries. Burgas is the second busiest airport in the country after Sofia.
