Primorsko air strip upgrades to cater for bigger jets Dnevnik weekly
The airport runway in Primorsko, a resort town on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, will be extended to 3 km to accommodate 100-seat passenger jets, said town mayor Dimitar Dimitrov.
The land necessary for the extension of the 910 by 30 m runway has already been reclaimed. The upgrade will also include concrete-reinforcement of the runway.
At the moment, the airport handles only planes with up to 12 passengers and that only during daytime. A hangar is available with a parking capacity for 6 light planes.
The Primorsko airport was a project by local holding company Albena Invest which operates a tourist complex just 4 km from the facility. The airport was licensed in 2005.
