Low cost airline carrier Ryanair has launched regular flights from Plovdiv to Frankfurt-Hahn on November 3, 2011. The airline will operate the route twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays, information on its website shows.
"I hope they will keep the regular flights to Germany, since this destination attracts a lot of interest," Plovdiv Airport's CEO Doychin Angelov told the Bulgarian Darik radio.
Ryanair carries out flights from Bulgaria's second largest city of Plovdiv to Milan's Bergamo airport, as well as to London's Stansted. Plovdiv had become attractive for low-cost air carriers since April 1, 2010, when its fees were sharply reduced to three times lower than the fees of Sofia airport.
