London Southend Airport has unveiled the latest addition to its expanding list of summer destinations, the stunning coastal city of Bourgas, Bulgaria.
On sale now, the holiday route will begin operating from Monday, June 17, 2024 with flights every Monday.
The new charter service, operated by Balkan Holidays, will run for 13 weeks until Monday, September 2, 2024 and is one of several new routes from London Southend Airport, including Paris, Geneva and the relaunch of easyJet flights to Amsterdam, Malaga, Mallorca and Faro.
Sun-seekers from London, Essex and the southeast of England can now use London Southend as the gateway to some of the best beaches and nightlife on the Black Sea, whilst adventure lovers can explore natural wonders of the world, including Bourgas’ very own UNESCO-stamped Old Town, Nessebar.
Seats are available to book on the Balkan Holidays website.
London Southend Airport CEO John Upton said: “We are delighted to be working with our new tour operator partner Balkan Holidays, launching another new route from London’s quick and easy airport. People living in London, Essex and across the southeast of England can choose this destination for summer 2024 and travel to us, by train, within 43 minutes from London Stratford.
“This announcement is further assurance of our commitment to rebuilding London Southend Airport and a great example of our growth opportunity. We are confident that there is more to come for summer 2024.”
