Airline starts direct flights to the Black Sea Coast

Wizz Air, the largest low-cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, started their latest service from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) yesterday evening with staff celebrating their inaugural flight to the Bulgarian Black Sea resort of Varna.

Flights now operate to Varna three times a week with departures on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

This latest new service is the airline’s eighth route from Liverpool complementing their existing seven routes to Warsaw, Gdansk, Katowice, Budapest, Bucharest, Cluj and Iași.

Varna is the largest city and seaside resort on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast.

It is popular with holidaymakers, is a major tourist destination and often described as the area’s most interesting and cosmopolitan town.

Paul Winfield, director of aviation development for Liverpool John Lennon Airport, said: “We are delighted to see Wizz Air continue to grow their operations from Liverpool with passengers from across the North West and North Wales now having the opportunity to fly direct from Liverpool to Summer holiday resorts along the popular Black Sea Coast.”
