The Blackpool International airport has reinstated its weekly flights to Burgas four years after they cancelled their air link to Bulgaria.

The Blackpool Gazette reported Tuesday that the new Burgas flights are the first of a number of promised services being offered by the airport, which has seen a rise in passenger numbers despite the recession.

Sue Kendrick, the airport's customer relations and communications manager, said: "The route has been sorely missed for the last few years and passengers who emailed the airport requesting its return should be delighted," cited by blackpoolgazette.co.uk

"Bulgaria is attracting a lot of interest from holidaymakers not only because of its fantastic sandy beaches and great weather but also because it's a euro-free zone," she added

"A holiday in Bulgaria can be great value for money with a three course meal costing under £10 per person and a large beer only £1.30," Kendrik concluded.

Just four years ago, Westby based travel firm Book2Go decided to pull the plug on the service after Balkan Holidays announced it was set to launch a route between Blackpool and Bulgaria.
