Flights to Antalya will be operated by Freebird and Bulgaria Air and flights to Tel Aviv by Arkia airline. Flights to Belfast will be operated by jet2.com, while Ryanair will operate flights to Manchester, Birmingham and Stansted Airport in London.

"For the winter charter programme, the entire staff of the airport works in full mobilization, as the programme is significantly busier than in the rest of the year," commented Doychin Angelov, Plovdiv Airport Executive Director.
