The airports in Bulgaria's Black Sea cities of Varna and Burgas processed nearly 920,000 passengers in July, German firm Fraport, who owns a 35-year concession for the two airports, said on Monday.

The Burgas airport processed 564,746 passengers, a 11,2% increase compared to July 2006, while Varna's 355,014 passengers meant an 0,3% drop over the same period of last year.

Fraport's two Bulgarian international airports accounted for 11,2% of its total 8,2 million passengers processed by the company in July, with the Frankfurt international airport processing 5,2 million.

Fraport and Bulgarian firm BM Star won the 35 years concession in 2006, pledging to invest EUR 403 M in new terminals, expansion and equipment over that period.
