Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov has ordered ministers of economy Traicho Traikov and of transport Ivailo Moskovski to go to Burgas and resolve the case of hundreds of Russian and Scandinavian tourists who had their flights home cancelled.
Bulgaria Air has cancelled 3 flights to St. Petersburg and Moscow in Russia and one flight to Helsinki in Finland based on an alleged EUR 3.5 M debt on the part of their tour operator Alma Tour.
More than 500 Russians have been stranded on the Bulgarian Black Sea in Burgas, with additional people expecting to fly to Helsinki Saturday evening, before their flight was cancelled.
Minister Moskovski has reported he is already at the site and is negotiating a resolution of the conflict between the two companies.
He said he has pressured Bulgaria Air to conduct the flights and then to seek an agreement with Alma Tour or sue them in court.
A Russian vice-minister has also arrived on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast to seek to aid in the resolution of the scandal.
