The summer season on the Lublin-Burgas air route was officially launched at Lublin Airport, the Ministry of Tourism said here on Monday. 

The event was organized jointly by Lublin Airport, the Embassy of Bulgaria in Poland and Bulgaria's National Tourist Office in Warsaw. 

Deputy head of mission at the Bulgarian Embassy in Poland Viktor Benov wished passengers an enjoyable and memorable stay in Bulgaria and expressed hope that more Bulgarian tourists would also discover the attractions and tourism potential of Lublin and the surrounding region. 

The launch of the route was also welcomed by Deputy Marshal of the Lublin Voivodeship Piotr Bres, who highlighted the airport's role in the development of tourism and business in the region. 

Following a record year in 2025, when Lublin Airport handled more than 470,000 passengers, expectations are that traffic will exceed half a million passengers this year. 

The festive programme included performances by the Izgrev folklore ensemble, which showcased Bulgarian folklore. 

Poland remains one of Bulgaria's key inbound tourism markets, and the direct Lublin-Burgas route represents another step towards improving air connectivity between the two countries. 

Bulgaria's National Tourist Office in Warsaw said it would continue working to strengthen the country's position as a year-round tourist destination and encourage travel between Bulgaria and Poland.
