Future plans and expansion
Currently, Burgas airport is subject to heavy traffic following the growing tourism industry in Bulgaria and is in need of major investments to expand and handle projected passenger traffic. In June 2006, the Bulgarian Government awarded Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide a 35 year long concession on both Varna and Burgas airports in return for investments exceeding €500 million.
Fraport will be in partnership with Varna-based company BM Star. The concessionaire has vowed to inject 403 million Euro in the two airports during the lifespan of the arrangement. Fraport said it will pay 60% of an investment of EUR 403 million over the 35 year concession. The investments will be made in new terminal facilities, vehicles and equipment and expanding apron areas at the airports over the life of the concession Fraport will be the lead partner, with a 60% share, in a consortium with BM Star of Bulgaria.
