It is too optimistic to say that flights to and from Ruse airport will start from the beginning of the year. Perhaps, they will rather start operating from the beginning or middle of May 2022. Това е мнението, както на председателя на Асоциацията на Българската авиационна индустрия (АБАИ) – Тодор Иванджиков, така и на Янко Иванов от GullivAir, и на кмета на крайдунавския град Пенчо Милков.
We remind you that on November 18, the Ministry of Economy announced that four meetings have already been held between the Ministry, GullivAir airline , the Ministry of Transport, and Ruse municipality. At that time Daniela Vezieva said:
“We have launched the opening of the Sofia – Ruse domestic lines project. Two days ago we received a report from the Mayor of Ruse requesting investment costs, which we are currently discussing with the Ministry of Finance. Our goal is to start the process by the end of the year.”
Mayor of Ruse Pencho Milkov said:
“We hope that the financial means with which we will rebuild Ruse Airport will be promulgated soon. We are currently doing an analysis, the facility is yet to be restored, a fence built and everything necessary for the normal functioning of an airport. What I can say is that the project is being worked on very actively, even on a daily basis. “.
The airport is located 15 km from Ruse and is close to the village of. Straklevo. It was established as a military airport, but after the construction of a passenger terminal it was also used for civil flights until 1991. Gulliver officially declared its intention in May this year that it was interested in restarting the Ruse-Sofia line. If the flights are restored, a service line Ruse – Straklevo will be launched.
