No-frills airline Ryaniair will launch flights to Bulgaria but will initially land just in the second city of Plovdiv, said Ivo Marinov, deputy minister of economy, energy and tourism. Ivelina Grozdeva of the Bulgarian Hotel and Restaurant Association urged that the carrier should be allowed to also operate flights to Sofia, Bourgas and Varna. The government plans to lower landing fees for Plovdiv Airport for a period of two years to meet a requirement by the Irish company, which is looking for low fees, according to Marinov.
