The only two flights that were supposed to take off from Bulgaria’s Black Sea airport Varna have been canceled because of the Iceland volcano ash cloud over Europe.

Both outbound international flights – Varna-Vienna and Varna-Budapest – have been canceled. So have been the two inbound flights to Varna from Vienna and Budapest.

Unlike the much busier Sofia Airport, the situation at the Varna Airport is rather relaxed as Saturday is the least busy day there. Most of the regularly scheduled flights to and from Varna are on workdays, and even Sundays are busier than Saturdays.

The Varna Airport services a lot of charter flights but few of those have been scheduled yet as they appear mostly during the height of the summer tourist season – May to September.
