Low-cost airlines like Wizz Air and Ryanair are the leading brands in airlines in Bulgaria, followed by Bulgaria Air close behind. Wizz Air and Ryanair owe their success to the number of routes served (regular and seasonal) and their flexibility to change offered destinations based on costumers’ interest and changing external environment conditions.
Bulgaria serves a terminal point for flights, rather than a transit hub, despite the strategic geographical location of the country serving as a crucial intersection between Europe and Asia, with significant air traffic traversing its airspace. Travel associations are calling on the local government to invest more into resources to further enhance Sofia’s position in the air travel network, and there are plans to develop Sofia Airport’s potential over the coming years.

Airlines
Airlines covers sales made to country residents (outbound and domestic tourists) and excludes sales to incoming tourists. Please note that airlines sales made to country residents when they are travelling abroad or through foreign websites or apps are also included and will be considered under the country of residence. The total amount paid for a flight after taxes and other charges is included. The return flight leg is included as well as the total amount paid for a flight ticket. Value sales exclude all forms of transit. Euromonitor International considers airline capacity and passengers carried in terms of enplanement based on scheduled flights. A passenger whose flight stops mid-route to pick up more passengers but continues with the same aircraft/flight number would be counted as one enplanement. A passenger who switches flights to another airline or aircraft with a new flight number mid-journey would be considered as two enplanements. Enplanements are not the same as number of seats sold or seat bookings, as the latter both include all bookings and do not exclude no-shows and cancellations. Direct transit passengers are excluded, eg those who continue on the same flight. Other transit passengers are included where passengers change plane with a new flight number. Air passengers carried relate directly to air value sales, where domestic and outbound travellers are only included. As such value and volume data in both sizes and shares is aligned and exclude the inbound component.
