The first charter from Moscow to Bulgaria’s city of Plovdiv will arrive at Plovdiv Airport on December 25. This flight will mark the opening of a new charter line operated by Siberia Airlines.

Plovdiv Airport will negotiate for the opening of a permanent line from Moscow to Plovdiv. Siberia Airlines opened a regular air line from Moscow to Varna after it performed charter flights during the summer.

By the end of March 2010, the number of flights from Russia to Plovdiv will reach 20 per month.

The interest of Russian tourists in Bulgarian winter resorts is growing and those visitors could possibly compensate for the withdrawal of British tourists.
