London-registered European low-cost carrier Wizz Air confirmed it will continue to service the flight from the coastal city of Burgas to London three times a week during the winter.

The passengers will fly aboard 180-seat Airbus 320 planes and will land at Luton airport.

Wizz Air, the first no-frills carrier to enter the Bulgarian market, has been operating a base in Sofia with one aircraft and local crew since early 2006. In addition to its Sofia services Wizz Air's Bulgarian network included a number of summer routes to Burgas and Varna, the increasingly popular Black Sea destinations from the UK, Poland and Hungary.

Data of the company shows that no-frills airlines account for about 40-50% of the aviation market in Bulgaria.

The country attracted a number of low-cost carriers thanks to its accession to the European Union and fast economic growth.
