Twenty-eight Bulgarian and foreign air companies have served domestic and international flights as scheduled. Another ten companies have served summer and winter charter programs, while the cargo flights have been served by six specialized air companies.
Former national carrier Bulgaria Air holds a 26% market share in the number of served passangers from and to Sofia airport, leading the top five list. Low-coast Wizz Air comes in second at 16%, followed by Lufthansa, Europe's second-largest airline (11%) and no-frills easyJet (8%).
Uncles Comment : Note the 24% market share for budget airlines . Let us hope that Varna and Burgas go down the same route.
