The low-cost company Wizz Air might cancel its flights from Sofia to the Bulgarian Black Sea city of Varna.

The news has not been officially confirmed by the company. However, the press center of the airport in Varna has announced that Wizz Air had not announced flight dates for the winter season. The website of the company also showed that tickets from Sofia to Varna could not be reserved after November 1.

Wizz Air launched its route Sofia-Varna in the middle of July 2008. The average price ticket ranged from BGN 60 to BGN 80. An early booking could lower the price one-way to BGN 20.

In this way, the company became a competition to the companies, providing bus transport between Varna and the capital, which costs and average of BGN 30.

Before Wizz Air started offering a Sofia-Varna route, the other carrier, Bulgaria Air, also lowered its prices for early bookings.

At the moment, through the online booking system of Bulgaria Air, people could buy tickets for flights in early December. Their price is BGN 53,18 for a round trip with airport taxes included and without checked luggage.

However, tax service of BGN 19,56 is added to the sum, which makes the ticket price cost a total of BGN 72,74 without checked luggage.

According to the CEO of Wizz Air, Jozsef Varadi, the company holds 35% of the market of low-cost flights in Bulgaria and 19% of the market in Central and Eastern Europe.

The company is expecting that the number of passenger in 2010 would reach 1 000 000.
