International Airport Burgas (LBBG) IFR

PPR is required, sometimes with prior registration via AOPA Bulgaria. Walking from aircraft to terminal is straightforward and avoids a €50 shuttle bus charge per trip. Handling agents may recommend using the main terminal to avoid extra GA Center fees. Example: one night parking and landing about €110; another example: landing and two nights about €60. Fees for light GA are generally in the medium to higher range. Avgas is available, with prices varying over time. Fuel truck service is efficient, and technical stops are possible without passing passport or customs control when staying airside.

Procedures can be time-consuming, especially for flight plan filing or customs on domestic flights. English radio communication is professional, and operations in controlled airspace are smooth. Abstellplätze (parking spots) for GA may be limited at times, and advance coordination is advised. For official permissions, caa@caa.bg is a contact address.

Ground access to local accommodation is possible on foot; a pension is located about 1 km from the airport. Overall, LBBG offers suitable facilities for general aviation with some administrative steps and moderate to higher fees.
